Sand Beach, right side, 18 x 12 inches, pencil and chalk on board
I am back after a week of vacation on the mountains of British Columbia. I picked up an unfinished drawing from the fall and gave it another go.

Precipice, Winter afternoon
A small, relatively quick one. Dimensions to follow… and perhaps an image shot in some better light.
Edit: a newly updated shot, but I am still lacking a decent photo. Perhaps soon.
