golf season is ending .....

I became a golfing addict this summer - not that I'm very good at it, but it is fun and good exercise - hopefully it will keep my cholesterol levels in good enough control to please my doctor. I have adult onset diabetis and watching cholesterol is included in the control of blood sugar. I am border line with both - so that diet and exercise will keep me pill free.
My handicap is very bad - 48 - but I am hoping to improve. My goal this summer was to break 120 - which I did 3 times - so there is hope! I was playing anywhere from 3 to 5 times a week - always 18, always walking. Boy is my ass in shape!
The down side of all this healthy stuff was that my feet got sore as hell!!! And - I needed a nap most afternoons lololol.
The only painting I've done as a result is a bit of plein aire sketching in Northern Ontario - Gloucester Pool area near Georgian Bay.
We had a cool week but the area is beautiful.
These are done in my moleskin sketch/paint pad - 5" x 8".











I did do a couple of animals to keep in practise - a close up of a kitty and a sketch of a pup which I will later paint........







I am almost ready to start my commission for Tracy - cute white doggie for her mum ... shhhhh

Sue, love your sketches from up north! I actually like the pen that ran!
I'm glad you enjoyed golf so much this year, and that your bum is in such good shape!! LOL

I really like that pencil sketch of the dog too! Look forward to seeing more of your art now that the weather is turning cooler!
