Walking, observing, photos and creating memories

mishmashlearning

Sunday 27th and a day off from the season at the shop. The sun was shiny and it was better than we thought it would be after storm Bella had blown through last night.

So a walk which meant opportunities to be on the beach, have my feet in the sea and on the sand, to see seaside visitors (global pandemic? Yes but seaside visitors keep coming).

So a selection of today’s pics and how they boost our mental health and build ideas for future art pieces.

View across bay with breakfast

When this view is available you use it as much as possible. I spotted dots in the water, the binoculars confirmed there were 8 surfers in the sea practicing. By the time we went out the tide had changed and the early group were heading off.

Winter surfer attire and akin to commuting.
I am going to capture this profile below The Pines Hotel this year with the prominent tree
If I put this colour sky in a December picture how many might question it
My use of gelly roll white pens and posca white markers are part of my much improved record of seas with surf
People on the beach where attire indicates the season, most are not in shorts like me
That view – it must be lunch time. I have drawn our view a small amount but learning how the bay changes, the sea colour, the direction of the tide and influence of wind direction and strength – there will be a range of pieces over time to share the moods of Swanage Bay I promise.

So not an arty day although I carried a sketchbook and pen set with me in case but more observations and memories to add into a range of pieces.

Back in the shop for the next three days so seafront visits will mainly be on my walk to work and vitamin sea clips for the Instagram account.
