Today was a bit of a write off to be honest. I didn’t do a lot except rest and a walk this evening. Around those I chatted online with some new shops in Kingland Crescent Poole that we visited yesterday. I shared the sketch that I did at the end of the afternoon. I enquired …
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 …
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 …
