La Jolla Children's Pool

La Jolla Children's Pool, Pastel, 18"x24"
Took a break from drawing because of classes, but got a chance to squeeze in this one before Thanksgiving break. This is a pastel rendering of the Children's Pool near La Jolla Cove, where the seals and pelicans can safely roam (I even spotted some baby seals). The drawing was done at noon which also happens to be high tide, so the waves looked magnificent crashing onto the boulders. On an interesting note, the seagull on the bottom edge of the drawing stayed in the same area for the whole two hours while I was drawing. The quick drawing of it doesn't quite do it justice but by then the sea breeze was making me cold and I packed up soon after.
