I don't like the reference photo and probably wouldn't post it except for the fact that this is the pose I wanted to sketch and paint. So up it goes. The fog was rolling in yesterday and it was invigorating to be out in the mist and chilly air. Today it's really foggy but I suspect due to my excitement about photographing the lake in the fog, that we will go out walking today - the only drawback is the somewhat breezy conditions which make it feel chilly today plus the fact that the fog will make my clothes damp (whine)...
Note: When I choose a photo to sketch from - it's what I feel at the time I want to express in the sketch - and I'm not trying to be realistic with the sketch so it varies a lot from the photo itself.
I'm on a countdown until I visit my sister so I think I'll at least continue the seagulls until the end of the month.
Once I visit up there, the variety of shore birds I can photograph will be exciting to me. My niece works at a hotel at the central coast that sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean - there we will be for a few nights and then over to my sis' house for a few nights. I can't wait!

You did such a great job and it looks like it's freezing because of the way you did the water and background.
I see you don't want your clothes damp from the fog. Well be prepared for a good warm jacket to wear if the mornings are foggy at the coast! Some days it doesn't lift at all. I'm not sure what to expect as far as fog during that part of November, but I know it is predicted to be in the low sixties, maybe high fifties, chances of thunderstorms on the Friday that you will be here...but, again, they could be completely wrong this far in advance.
well today we walked the lake in fog and wind and it was 47 wind chill probably 40...other than my hands and nose - we were fine. So i'm sure will adapt to whatever is going on.
