On the way home yesterday the sands at St Andrews were looking really stunning. Decided today to go back and do a plein air painting on the West Sands. The waves were breaking over the rocks and there were lots of sea birds feeding.

I have decided to do a painting a day ideally from life. Here is my first painting. I was delivering paintings to the Jerdan Gallery in Crail and decided to go along to Pittenweem by the harbour. The fishing boats were arriving home one by one and gave me the perfect subject for this painting.
