NEW DRAWING

"Surf at Pointe Dume"

This drawing began as a demonstration for The Alpha Rho Tau Civic Art Club in Tulsa, OK last August.  I finished it a few days ago.  The drawing is from photo reference I took while visiting my sister in Malibu a few years ago.  This is off Pointe Dume in Malibu.
