R's rue

I did another sketch for the 2nd day of the year.  Toward the end of the sketch I had to hurry it up because we are going out to pick up a grandson down the hill and will have him here for a couple of days.  I wanted to get this done before I left because I intend to keep to my idea of a sketch a day. I decided to put a few dogs in it.  My goal is to not just draw houses but when I do, to put a little humor into them if possible. Anyway, it turned messy towards the end just to get it done.  I did a really quick bad job on the fence in front. How's your day going?

I started sketching out a house and then kept going.  I had fun making up a scene of a house I would enjoy living in.  I can just imagine how the back yard is full of plants and a garden is tucked away in the far right back corner of the backyard.  I then found myself outside picking little oranges off the miniature orange trees.  This is probably because the other day we were down the mountain and I could smell and see orange groves in bloom as we drove through Redlands.  This house would fit just perfect on one of the streets in a Redlands neighborhood. Once I got started on my sketch I enjoyed adding more and details to the house.  So that's how I sent the first day of 2019.  How about you? Any creative things going on, or movies, or baking or just relaxing after the holidays?
