Something about my little beach drawrings made me think of Maurice Prendergast, an artist I’ve admired for years. This was only after the fact, not something I was aware of while drawing at the beach. But it made me google him and read more about him as an artist when I found THIS!
You simply must download this for yourself! You’ll love it! A peek into one of his very own sketchbooks, circa 1920-23.

I can certainly see why you admire him. How amazing to find his beach journal (must say Imlike your bright light touch just as much).
