Today I went to Huntington Beach pier and drew Dukes. See, I was really there. I was sitting in my new 7 lb director's chair in the sand next to a slew of bikinied volleyball players. It took me a long time to do the drawing, and I had to take a break for lunch. Here's me hungry, practicing my selfies. Oops the drawing is upside down. Thanks for looking.

My mother and I went for a drive to find a place to sketch. All of a sudden I'm seeing good spots everywhere, but while we were driving, I found myself indecisive, tootling around for a while. It started to get close to sunset, so I pulled over on PCH almost to Huntington Beach, in sight of the pier. Here's my warm-up sketch. Today, I stayed near home, and sketched my neighbor's bus and front step. It got dark, so no paint today. Maybe tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I can find that location again. Thanks for looking!
