My wife and I made a quick weekend trip to Pensacola, Florida to see our oldest son who is stationed at Naval Air Station Pensacola. It was a very busy weekend, but I was able to sneak in a few sketches. This one is from our hotel on the beach. Not at all pleased with the result, but I'm posting it anyway! I only had a brief time before breakfast and was interrupted numerous times by curious onlookers(which adds to the fun)! Capturing beaches, oceans, palms and boardwalks are definately a new thing for this "dry-land, high plains, west Texas sketcher!" More Pensacola sketches to follow. (pen and Ink w/ watercolor, sketched on location)

You may not be happy, but it really captures the place, and is a wonderful sketch!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a wonderful trip . . . how delightful to do a little early morning sketching.
