One of the sketchbook artists whose blog I follow, Pete Scully, likes to draw fire hydrants. Lucky for him, he lives in a place where the fire hydrants are interesting. Here, the hydrants are uniformly simple, though I have always liked the little red seat-like top, and probably sat on hundreds of them as a child.

Looking back through old posts, I discovered that I started Sketch Sunday on the 8th of November last year. I knew I was one sketch behind, so I went for a walk yesterday afternoon to take a photo of a fire hydrant to sketch. But I must have I’ve skipped another week during the last year, as I’ll only be up to 51 when the 8th of November comes around again.

I’m going to see if I can fit in two sketches this next week, so I make it to 52 sketches in 52 weeks.
