PEARL bear ornament Courtenay Birdsall Clifford was born

Courtenay Birdsall Clifford was born and raised in Anchorage

I didn't mind when it rained which it did often because there were plenty of subjects to sketch inside such as this solitaire player

Dimensions: 10

I had my sketchbook handy and so made good use of it during the drive

not necessarily the place itself

PEARL bear ornament Courtenay Birdsall Clifford was bornLimited edition print by Rie Munoz Edition size: 650 Image size: 3" x 7" A friend and I were sketching on a farm on Orcas Island when the farmers big black lab, Pearl, approached and deposited a tennis ball at my feet. I knew the routine and threw it. She retrieved it within seconds and insisted I throw it again and again and AGAIN! So I ended up sketching her in the brief moments available between tossing the ball, and here she is. Signed and
