covid Gallery

The Winter of 2020 was highlighted with a trip to Bequia followed by the horrible COVID-19 Pandemic. While sheltering in Vero Beach, I had a chance to paint, paint, paint. This gallery is that collection. The Pen Drawings are in-progress images that are taken after a pencil sketch, followed by an ink drawing with a rapidograph pen. I took these so that our grandkids could download, print and color them.
