I grew up bewitched by the islands I watched the sun set into from home.
I read and reread Island of the Blue Dolphins in grade school.
I never remember seeing a lighthouse!
I struggled with this image; I am not sure why.
I overworked it several times and thank heaven for good paper because
it doesn’t show the times I lifted the paint to lessen my overworking..
In the end, I think I like the piece cropped best.

I started a Facebook group page (you must join to view) to allow everyone to share their virtual sketches, and also where we will, from time to time, take virtual sketch walks together. Come join us On Facebook if you are inclined!
If you want to know more about what a virtual sketchwalk is review my first post.
There are a few more notes/pointers on our first walk through Laguna Beach, California.
I also created an accompanying Flickr group!
