A busy day leaves me not much time to draw. Foot up now, a glass of wine, maybe a movie

This hangs above our kitchen counter. Tonight, exhausted, I searched for what to draw, looked up and here it was. Blind contour is sometimes the most relaxing way to draw: no expectactations, no goals, just letting your eye do the work.

Spent the day at Mc Nears Beach in San Rafael. Actually, the beach is quite narrow, so my daughter and I swam in the adjacent pool while looking at the bay beyond. It was a lovely, hot day and a wonderful time to together before the start of school next week. The last lazy days of summer are the sweetest.
