Swanage 1 and 2

Comments

Lovely beach scenes with wonderful figures in such natural poses.. Would make a great larger scale painting.

Two beauties Derek. My favourite is the one on the right 'cause of the boats and the intrigue of who's behind the deckchairs.

Great beach scenes, Derek.. we were in Swanage this summer so I can see how well you've captured the backgrounds.

Very nice sketches Derek, I must say sketching outside certainly gets people talking to you its great for conversation

Thanks David. I am an inveterate talker, always have been so, so if they don't open a chat I will. I see that particular situation as PR.

Ongoing from our week away in Dorset. The first couple noticed I was sketching them, so I showed them this piece and explained. They were delighted and the conversation rolled on for some time. The second couple had no choice! but I thought it was a nice composition as the Waverley was in for about an hour max.

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.
