Rainy days

As a final (or perhaps penultimate) post before I disappear for a week or so, this is a watercolour I did this evening/morning based on  a photograph of a slightly gloomy day at Weymouth taken on a previous holiday week in Dorset. For some bizarre reason it always seems to be either raining or a little chilly there when we visit, but thankfully it normally brightens up a litle ! The beach was unusually empty apart from this dog walker and a few other brave souls. This was painted on Arches 140lb Rough using lovely transparent Winsor & Newton tube watercolour :O)

    This is really beautiful painted Michael. It gives the atmosphere of early morning or late evening on beach where a siren repose. In the background you can hear the sea murmur.

    Thank you Pat! I just hope I can get some time in between all the carnival atmosphere, the wonderful geology and eating all that yummy Dorset apple cake and the best fish and chips in the world!
