Evening Sketches by the Bay


Late afternoons, early evenings on the nearby mountaintop. 
There are some tourists. They are happy to be here. 
I go for solitude, but I like meeting people from other places.
I name some of the islands & distant mountains for them.
Sharing what I know, it isn't much, but we all enjoy it.

Another little known place, a small rock & shell beach.
My companion started packing up to leave 
just as I began drawing this one. 
It was an incomplete vignette, but after I added color from memory, 
I liked the resulting simplicity.

  1. Rita -- I can feel the beauty of the coast in your sketches. I too love solitude when I am near nature. I think my dog Daisy does too as she always knows when I am going to the large park located across the road from my complex. No water but lots of trees, trails, and wildlife. -- barbara
