Before going to work in the studio I did a warm up sketch of furniture in the living room. The sketch was done with a chunky permanent ink pen and pencil for additional shading. The ink doesn’t allow for errors, sometimes that is the fun of using it.

I was catching up with gardening today. I decided to stop and get my pastels out as the bee’s on the lavender were quite captivating. They really are a fast moving subject but I liked the challenge.
First apologies for the lack of posts. As you will see below I have been busy at the Pittenweem Arts Festival. It was a great 10 days with lots of sunshine and very busy.
The West Shore of Pittenweem is a magical place, there were children playing and swimming all week, giving me lots of inspiration for new paintings.I had lots of favourable comments during the week and have also been reviewed in another blog by Julie Broom.
