I found this guy painting a big shed door down near the Marina the other morning. I loved the shadow!! I'm well and truly behind...I think it's about three days now!

What a  nice way to spend a Sunday morning! These two friends were sitting on the grass down near the Marina, deep in conversation and unaware of anyone around them! I remember doing the same... oh to be young again!! This is day 9 in the 30/30 challenge, so far I've managed to keep up but I'm not sure if it will stay that way. Things will be disrupted here next week when we have a new kitchen installed and I have a visitor the week after! I didn't know this was going to happen when I signed up so what will be will be!!!

I live close to a marina and usually come across a fisherman when I'm out walking...  this one had been out in his boat early and  was stringing up his morning catch!!

I was walking down by the Marina one Sunday morning and saw this boy, doing what boys do, throwing stones into the water....  each time trying to see how far he could throw them! I sat and watched...eventually he stood still enough for me to get this photo. I liked the soft morning light!!

I am still clearing out 'stuff ' so when I move it won't be too much to do. It is taking a lot of my painting time...trying to stay calm!!!

Little Shags

Drawing #67

Charcoal and pastel

What a day!! I think today was a follow on from yesterday....I ended up binning one painting!! I did paint another but haven't photographed it yet. I will post it along with the color mixes tomorrow! In the meantime here is a drawing of these Little Shags  that sit on the old wooden piles down near the Marina...they sit there  most mornings. Because the day was dull and overcast I used grey paper and let it do some of the work!

Drawing #36

Pencil and Gouache

I came across these two girls near the Marina sitting on the grass  chatting... I was there to take photos of the boats but ended up sketching and taking photos of them instead!  I like it when that happens! It's completely spontaneous...the boats will always be there but this was too good to miss! I loved drawing them, wondering what they were talking about! I added a bit of color as always!!
