Aldeburgh Beach

We are having a heat wave and thoughts turn to a visit to the coast. One of my favourite coastal places is Aldeburgh in Suffolk. This fishing village has a huge shingle beach,  sparkling cool sea water with a huge sky beyond.There are several fishing boats but this big blue boat is a favourite. It can be seen coming into land in the early morning.

As it rests on the shore the fishermen gut their catch providing delicious fresh seafood to eat on the spot in the small cafes nearby or to take home  .

Summer Vacation Plans

 Thinking about summer vacation plans.

Strolling into local cafes for delicious food and wine is always a pleasure in France. A country where it is hard to get a bad meal.

In The Garden

Spring has come at last ,we have tidied up the garden and hopefully we shall be able to sit outside.

I am trying to update some of my painting techniques using collage and mixed media.

New Knee

I have not added any new posts for a while as I have been recovering from total  knee replacement surgery and sitting for extended periods at my computer is painful.

I am rather obssessed with the subject of walking and sticks at the moment.

   Snowdrops and Aconites are appearing in some sheltered spots around the colleges and riverbanks.These are the first signs of spring and will gradually spread into large groups until they are replaced by crocuses and wind flowers.

As Dreams Unfold

Inspite of freezing cold weather two attractive models posed for our life drawing class this week.
This was a romantic scene and made me think about St Valentine's day which is not far away now.
