We have two people who made it out to sketch today, me, on the usual stretch of northern California coast, and Dorise, who is on a trip to Hawaii and is contributing a couple of sketches from there.
I went down to Point Arena wharf again, to check out the possible tsunami conditions from the large earthquake in Chile. The sea was pretty rough, no one fishing from the wharf, or surfing, of course, and the waves were breaking over the parking lot area. Not too bad, though. First sketch was off the massive rock cliff near the wharf, with an abandoned watch tower on top:
Next, I stopped by the lineup of fishing boats that had been pulled out of the water and onto the parking lot:
Finally, I stopped at a local fisherman's house where he has his porch decked out in colorful fish net floats that had broken loose and washed up onto the beach. Makes a colorful addition to a dull, gray house:
Next, we have Dorise's sketches. The first is a Heiau, a place of worship, at Kekaha Kai on Kona:
Next, we have a woman competing at a Hawaiian dance competition:
That's it for this time around; if any of the others on the Mendonoma Coast wish to add to these, please feel free.

Jack -- excellent on the fishing boats -- lots of stuff shown in a pleasing format.
Dorise -- I love the heiau, great treatment of the foliage.

Jack, I really liked your watercolor sketches of the CA coast - the boats and the house with the fishing floats. I'm glad the tsunami didn't cause any damage in your area.
Dorise, nice delicate linework - I love the ink and wash of the palm foliage.

Nice to see sketches from friends doing the sketchcrawl apart! Good job in both parts of the world.
