Berry Head

-

 Hot days, hot nights, 
the only change is an evening walk in a high up place with a sea breeze, golden light, 
Berry Head in South Devon.


 I love how the low sun lights up the wild flowers and grasses


and creates pretty silhouettes along the wall.


Oh to be on that boat with a cool breeze!

We are in winter so your pictures are a nice reminder of the summer to come.

This looks like such a beautiful place.

Thank you so much for your kind comment yesterday. To think that my painting would remind you of Devon is such an incredible compliment. You made my day.

I hope you are enjoying every minute that you are there.

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic.
