Lovely sketch. Love the island and the figures going down the beach.

Great sketch - captures what is going on and the lovely scenery around there. You can go on a sea tractor over to Burgh Island, can't you. Must go there one day as it looks a super place for a holiday.

Thanks Shirley and Thea. Yes tractor available at high tide. We walked across and had a pint. Very snooty pub - like island, owned by posh very expensive hotel. Crap staff in pub didn't really want to know and as for service down to the terrace, laughable, even when I said I was not exactly mobil down several steps, stairs and rough ground. Anyway good sketching although had left the gear on the mainland to save carrying.

Wonderfully worked up Derek have a great time never mind the people

Thanks dennis and Carole

Love this true to life sketch Derek.

Nice effort Derek considering your disability. it just shows what can be accomplished when these things happen. Keep at it and all the best......Syd Edward

Nice one Derek lovely loose approach

Thanks Louise, Edward and dennis. Tiny watercolour box and one brush does all.

One of my favourite places.

Yes we revisited it again, it is smashing and very different somehow.

Eleventyeight as my hashing pals called my new age recently, it's supposed to sound better. Trying to paint every day in acrylics using only expired credit/debit cards, and partially succeeding as they're only for me and not show these days.
