Today started with a walk on the beach before work and another reference picture to help with my current panorama project. Coffee pre work at Java and very soon after my new purchase arrived and was fitted and not the shop has a sign all the time outside. I am still using the studio flag …
Second day in a row with a family I know – but local rather than visitors this time and that magic moment when three often hyperactive young girls were absolutely focused and silent for about 5 minutes. In fact their Mum and I were so gobsmacked we probably triggered the next word spoken. Now at …
This morning at the studio I had no visitors so got on with my panorama piece adding detail to the building at Ocean Bay and started to add some of the beach huts then housing at the top of the cliff. A complex task which I took in stages and patiently not wanting to make …
