Sketching in a Kayak

I am getting ready to give a talk at the Edmonds Sketcher Fest - titled "Extreme Travel Sketching: What to Bring and How to Survive" - and I will be walking about all sorts of unusual places where I sketched - including while in a kayak!

And this week I had a wonderful opportunity to spend some time on the water - sketching from a sit-on-top kayak at the Elkhorn Slew by the Pacific Ocean. I saw so many birds! Cormorants eating close by, and pelicans of two different kinds pass very close. Harbor seals popping up right by the paddle. And a growing population of sea otters - which is such a joy to see!
