Seals, sunshine, sketching.

It was good to feel the sunshine on skin as I sat above the beach of seals sketching. Good to sketch from life, though difficult balancing on the cliff top with glasses and binoculars, sketchbook and pencil. Beautiful to watch the seals and hard to pull myself away and back to the studio.

  1. How idyllic a scene to imagine you sketching and the seals learning to swim. We have seals and sea otters near my home that are a joy to watch.

  4. I'm surprised you get any work done at all. I'd be spending all day out of doors with binoculars and video cam just soaking up the beauties of nature that are heaped about like treasure.
