a cracker of a day.....








A local nippers comp on an absolute cracker of a morning.

The day was headed for the high 30's 

but it meant a great morning for a swim, a run, and just hanging out 

on the beach.
















A  sky and sea so still, so calm, so blue.....

so, so perfect!

(ps: as a mum I think the "safety -pink" rashies and caps are brilliant.....

........but as an artist I think they may give me some grief !! )

 I worked on three 'boating' paintings at once.....when I have an idea

I like to stay 'in the flow'.....

....and so whilst one was drying I would move on to the next.

I was blessed to have childhood holidays and weekends  that revolved around fishing, sailing,

surfing, swimming, and just plain old 'messing about in boats'.

I think that it is this love of the sea and the beach lifestyle that resonates

with people and draws them to my work.

......If only I could have the scent of the sea permeate the canvas.....


                               now that's an awesome idea!
