Welcome to Creative Tuesdays! This piece is done in my sketchbook (8 1/2"h x 11"w) in watercolour pencil. The current theme is 'Around the World'. Yet another fun theme from Michael! The skies aren't really cloudy, it's my scanner.
Speaking of travel, a young cousin has been posting photos of her visit to Harbour Island in the Bahamas with close friends. It brings back memories of a time we visited the pink sand beaches they have there. Unfortunately it was just a day trip, maybe I could put a whole week there on the bucket list! Are you a beach lover?

Hello,
Excellent sketch, very creative.
Most of my life I lived near beaches. In Chennai I lived near the Marina beach and Eliots beach, in Goa I lived closer to many beaches like Miramar beach, Callancute beach, Vagator beach, Anjuna beach and Colva beach.
Now in Kochi I live near Fort Kochi beach and Cherai beach.
Best wishes.
I love your sketch Christine, perfect for the topic "Around the World".
I am definitely a beach lover, not for sun baking anymore like I used to when I was young, but for bodysurfing the waves.
I'm going to the beach this Sunday for some wave catching and the weather forecast is warm and sunny......lucky me!
Take care

This is a sweet illustration, it reminds me of those pretty vintage postcards where you'd see a suitcase with different stickers and names of cities adorned on the side of it. The beach is beautiful, and really exciting to travel to when going to a new beach location. Beautiful job!
Great sketch. I love the sea and beaches, and am happy that I have a bit of sand by the Rhine! Valerie
This really does evoke memories of holidays, sun and sand. A lovely illustration Christine!
Great sketch! And yes, I am a beach lover. I wish I was there right now!
Pink sand? Awesome!
But, as you know, I stay away from the beach due to the relentless sun.
Grew up near the shore but I'm not a beach lover. I liked that it was there, but would rather be in the woods or a bookstore cafe.
Happy Creative Tuesday :-)
Done so soft and lovely. I'll join you at the beach...a great take.
Just lovely Christine!!
Christine,
I love the beach as well. We winter in Arizona where we get lots of sun but no beach. I love your sketch showing your travels or wishes to travel. Beautiful.
Blessings,
Janis
Love it! What a great idea and a very good drawing. :)
Hi Christine,
Your sketch in watercolor pencil is adorable.
I live right next to a beach and I live on a river, so this piece resonated with me.
Thanks for sharing,
Tracy
Not a beach lover, but I love your sketches!
nice sketch
How wonderful! I love the painting. I love the beach sometimes...
That's an excellent interpretation, Christine! So, have you been to all those places or perhaps they are places you;d like to go to? :) Thank you for your work here and to your question: nope, not really a beach person, crazily enough, but then again, I'd choose beach anytime over the mountains here...that is, if I had to be in them.
Michael, I have been to all those places!
Yes, I love the beach and I love the mountains and I love your suitcase too! It reminds me when I was a child and my mom bought me a small red suitcase especially for children. It was so exciting to pack and unpack it and I think I did it very often always playing "I travel around the world with my sister". Mostly I love travelling together with my husband now. Fortunately we enjoy the same places.
