allotments in front of the sea and near to the ferry terminal, all sorts of relationships with water, seasons and tides
I haven’t been to the sea for a few weeks and I miss it already so another visit is due with sketchbook. I did a finished painting on the beach once years ago, I did have an immense sense of freedom while doing it, and I was amazed when it sold later in gallery, I’d like to try that again, maybe it’s my next challenge. I must admit though that I am put off by the thought of people looking over my shoulder so I won’t do it on a bank holiday. I was the same when students asked me to demonstrate how I do a painting, I just couldn’t do it, I felt exceptionally exposed and uncomfortable. .
here are more of the paintings with their second layer , I usually do three layers including detail.
also the photograph of South Stack lighthouse from the top of the cliff..
