Oil Pastels

I have been using some oil pastels for life drawing and to do some drawings ready to make into Christmas cards.

It is essential to use good quality pastels and paper such as mi-teintes ,Daler Rowney or Ingres paper.

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.
