The changing clouds of midday and a calm lake greeted me and my painting companion.
The changing clouds of midday and a calm lake greeted me and my painting companion.
Turning at an angle on the beach, the same tranquil morning, a different line of wooden posts and the waves washing rhythmically on the shore. Â I was getting chilly, but was busy painting and only noticed when I had finished how cold I had become!

The sky was beautiful and the contrast and reflection made by the remains of the wooden posts interested me. Â It was a cold morning and I was bundled up to paint.

Another chance to paint with my feet in the sand. Â It shouldn’t matter what your feet are in while you paint, but there is something so comfortable and relaxing about having your feet in sand. Â I would back up to see the painting from further away and then go back to my position at the easel. Â My feet would dig back into the sand and I picked up my tool of brush or knife again.
The pattern of the clouds drew me into the scene on the edge of the water.
Near to the cottage where we were staying was a public beach that became a great place to paint in the evening. Â After the painting was over, we could enjoy the sunset.

It was a dreary day, and beach had only a few people. Â I liked the reflections in the close water.

Down the stairs that led down the steep bluff to the water’s edge.
Looking along the edge of the lake, these large trees rose out of the sand dune.
