| This two-year old drawing was created with a #2 graphite pencil. The drawing's size is 6"x20", on watercolor paper. The scene includes a dredging tug , beside the Campobello Bridge in Lubec Maine. The tides are too strong for any craft to remain in one spot in the Narrows between Canada and the USA, so twice a day when the tides change, the tug puts into shore and "waits for the slack tide", before returning to work. This is a winter scene which is a season that I hope to experiment with more. Claudia |

Nice drawing.
I wish we could see it a little larger. I really like the panoramic layout. |

| Hi Retha,
I looked up Web Image Optimizer on google, and it seems to be for a Windows computer. I have a Macintosh computer. Any other suggestions to reduce the size of the file for "...Slack Tide?"
