beach sketch

For a change, we recently went to a different beach than usual - Martin’s Beach. It’s smaller, but has an interesting shaped pointy rock that’s pretty dramatic.

I sketched the view and the incredible waves in my tiny sketchbook…

The sky was an incredible blue when we arrived, and the waters a lovely turquoise, but while I was sketching, the grey clouds rolled in, and it went dark for a while.

But then the fog and clouds rolled away again, as it does on the Pacific Coast, and it went back to being a perfect California day.

I roamed the shoreline looking at the various seaweeds…

I’m always amazed by the brightness of the flowers on the coast. All in all, a lovely weekend excursion!
