Footprints

I am fascinated by the sea, its eternal movement, its unceasing murmur. The generations of people come and go and the sea washes our footsteps away.

Bournemouth Coast

Today's piece is another of my recent Bournemouth impressions. My daughter's fascination with the sea always gives me a nice foreground. It was nearly dusk then with those lovely blue shadows everywhere. I hope I managed to covey some of that evening's beauty here.

Hurst Castle

This morning I have finished a Hurst Castle watercolour. We went there with my daughter during her Easter Break and I thought the views were breathtaking. There will be more images of the British southern coast to follow.

Staying with the nautical theme today's piece is similar to the yesterday's one but from a slightly different angle. Here seagulls are circling restlessly over the shallow coastal waters. The biggest challenge for me is always a repeating pattern with a rigid rhythm like the ripples on the damp sand in the foreground. I'm fairly satisfied with the result today but I feel I need to strech myself further and do more of those.

Rock Pools

I finished this watercolour yesterday. It was inspired by our recent trip down to the sea side. My daughter was so excited to play on the beach. I think it's great that Nature can have this effect on a child!
