I took my ipad to the beach with me last Friday. I love the ease with which I can use it to sketch. It takes the need for perfection away and allows me to capture an impression of the moment. Obviously both of these are not finished drawings, but they will help remember the seagull who kept shuffling by and the old man, head down, strolling the beach and the two old ladies who waded into the water with the glee of children -- one stood with her hands tucked behind her grasping her buttocks as if to plant herself against the gentle waves, the other trying to avoid stepping on pebbles even as she gathered treasured ones up in her hands.
