Sayulita Surf Shop


I just returned from a wonderful week in Mexico. Sayulita is a little town north of Puerto Vallarta full of color shops and people. I did this watercolor sketch in my sketchbook, while two local children watched. There is a lot wrong with it, but I still think it starts to capture the identity of the place. There was a really nice mural on the wall of the surf shop of a guy riding a wave. Unfortunately, the other figures in my picture kept moving so don't look too closely.

This is a "charmer" Kaaren...I love the slanted window at the back and the grey
works so well to "sweeten' the other colors.
You sense the brightness without making
it loud. It would be fun to see you work it up. Mom
