Walk, notice, photograph, draw

Thatt sums up my lockdown day with some admin too.

I walked to the far end of the bay this morning and distracted myself to feel calm by noticing my surroundings but also by taking photographs and video clips of vitamin sea.

A foggy start as forecast
Add sunshine and then we have a day of changes
It was cold enough last night for a frosty beach
The beach beyond the coastal management – groynes and wall
Gentle waves but so soothing
Relaxing at best through nature
I am enjoying making walking and videoing
On my return
On the way back the layers of silhouettes looking up the south side of Swanage
The characterful timbers of the groyne posts
A young and obviously brave couple swimming in costumes, no wet suits here

I have been reaching out to the water sports community for more art opportunities. Yesterday I drew one piece from account they had given me access, today an Italian team pairing followed and I sent back this sketch / drawing from one of their posts.

Then at the end of the afternoon as sunset drew near a magical cloud inversion in the bay.

So a lot done today in terms of noticing, I enjoy having the time and location to do this and have now drawn 7 A6 pieces in two drawing sessions this week so far. If you like any of the pieces or have ideas you think I might try please just comment or contact me.

Thanks
