Today my art skills have not been used as much as my organisational ones. I have recently bought, at last, a range of marker wallets to contain the promarker set that I keep in the shop and hope to use again for an ‘art for fun’ table. So today was a case of separating pens …
So a forecast of possible showers this morning that didn’t show. I got to spend a lot of today sat out in front of the shop drawing, chatting to passers by about my outfit, the pens I was using and the Dog friendly sign too. So, firstly better in focus pictures of the Water Sports …
Today we decided a drive and visit outside Purbeck would be nice and something we used to enjoy before the changes since March 2020. A few possibilities were considered that continue to be on the unwritten list we refer back to. We got as far as Blandford but the place that said it was open …
The forecast was heavy rain until 10ish, rain until about 2pm and windy all day. In actual fact, yes it did rain a bit this morning but the town was fairly busy, had to be because people made it to us too. So sales of cards mainly, commission collected and sales for other artist. I …

A day in which art featured because I ordered new marker stock to sell in the shop and additional paint markers to trial and use for ongoing projects in the shop. I delivered a commission to my client, a pen and ink piece and faces that were much more like the subjects than I would …
An early start as I woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep so on the seafront just before 6 am. I had a nice walk and some good photos to inspire art of various sorts. Once home I completed my current pen and ink commission which is off to the client tomorrow. At work …
So, a bank holiday with a forecast of strong winds and rain in the mid afternoon – would the shop get visitors / customers? I went in this morning and logged then put out the new original art postcards I drew yesterday, one sold in the morning to my first customer of the day. A …
Yes a full day and lots of art inspiration. Today we were on the water just after 9 and enjoyed a great paddle on a calm and sunny Swanage Bay – taking in the natural beauty of our natural scenery. We paddled across the bay between moored yacht visitors, saw friends in the rowing club …
