Beach Studies

Every year in early May 
we spend a week at Lake Ontario.
It gives me an opportunity to study and sketch 
the ever changing water, waves, and skies
 
Two studies of this mesmerizing shoreline.

This first a pastel pencil 
on a calm and sunny day.

The second is a full blown soft pastel work.

Here ominous clouds have covered the sky 
creating richer colour 
and some energetic waves.

Finally a a view of my three travelling companions
and (in the distance) 
my home away from home!
