Sunday Sketches

Another one of my pages from the Sketchbook Project 2011.....colored pencil.

I took this photo of the two pelicans in Key West. It was one of those things...take it because I want to paint it one day. One day doesn't usually come but it did in this case.

 Hope you all have a Blessed Easter....off to my parent's house today!

Enjoy the Sunday Sketch and for more awesome art visit http://bluechairdiary.blogspot.com/
