Fairly quiet in terms of sales but quite a few browsing visitors today the shop. I await the full details of the governments plans for July 19th plus as I want to restart the ‘Art for fun’ table with visitors. So I have worn the Watersports (in Swanage Bay) boilersuit today and worked on paper …
Yesterday in the shop as it was too wet to draw outside I continued to add detail to my newest drawing. I had finished Monday with adding the geology details to both Peveril Point and Ballard Down / Point in fineliner. I find that with / without photos, the more I look at particular stretches …

Today was a good day for more extended conversations with visitors, some of whom became customers and others who didn’t. I really enjoy this interaction with visitors. Today I met two …
