And the winner is…
Posted: October 22, 2014 Filed under: Uncategorized 6 CommentsI just picked a name out of a hat, well, a bowl actually, and the winner of the sketch from my 1,000th post is Doug from Colorado!
Congratulations Doug! You should be receiving the sketch very soon. Thanks once again to everyone who wrote such thoughtful notes with their entries.
Before I did the draw, on my way to school, I had time for a sketch at the outdoor market in Pointe Claire. With its withered pots of mums and dwindling apples huddled together for warmth, the market definitely has that end-of-season look. The displays of pumpkins will be there for another week or so and then — the day after Hallowe’en — the farmers pack it all up. (I always wonder what happens to all those unsold pumpkins.) There’s always a feeling of sadness when the awnings are gone, knowing that I won’t be able to sketch anything that colourful outdoors until the spring. Sigh…
Congratulations Doug…… and thank you Shari for this exciting twist to your regular beautiful contributions of inspiration!
Thanks TR!
Yahoo!! Can’t wait to put this on my wall!
You just need to email me your address Doug!! Congrats again.
Bravo to your winner!
Love the way you’ve captured the end of season look of the market, of course anything with pumpkins gets a thumbs up from me. Locally, the leftover pumpkins are taken to the pig farm where they are used for food…yea! recycled pumpkins!
