Santa Monica Sketches

This is two pages of a sketchbook: The upper page shows a woman sunbathing in shorts, a tank top and a swimming cap; The lower page shows a group of children walking out of the water, the one closest to the viewer is holding a stick with a large piece of kelp on a stick. The lower page is inscribed "kelp."

Bertha May Ingle

c. 1928: Ingle visited Santa Monica in 1928 so that is the earliest possible date for these drawings. They are also in a sketchbook full of drawings from the mid to late twenties.
