Beach Study II
This is second attempt at quick pencil study of a beach cottage at the access to Ballston Beach in Truro, Massachusetts on Cape Cod.

The Canteen
The Canteen is located in Provincetown, Massachusetts and is a casual New England eatery that uses high-quality ingredients to create Cape Cod favorites from scratch. The menu and style of service is rooted in the tradition of classic seafood shacks, but influenced by modern American cuisine. Housed in a 200 year-old building, the communal dining room opens onto the bustle of downtown Provincetown while the backyard seating area opens out onto Cape Cod Bay. The building caught my eye with the colorful flags and lobster buoys on the second floor balcony railing.

Jellyfish I
First of a week series of Jellyfish to get back to the ocean theme. They are typified as free-swimming marine animals consisting of a gelatinous umbrella-shaped bell and trailing tentacles. The bell can pulsate for locomotion, while stinging tentacles can be used to capture prey. Jellyfish are found in every ocean, from the surface to the deep sea. Large, often colorful, jellyfish are common in coastal zones worldwide. Jellyfish have roamed the seas for at least 500 million years, and possibly 700 million years or more, making them the oldest multi-organ animal. The sketch is direct to watercolor without ink.
