Where my treasure is
November 19, 2007
My sketchbook of 2007 had a boost of content when I spent a week walking along the South West Coast Path in Dorset and part of Devon, a few weeks ago.
My husband was on holiday in Iceland and so I had a whole week to myself with my pens, paints and sketchbook. The camera was also in Iceland so in order to record information and ideas I had to draw and paint. Being an artist, this should come naturally but I found that recently I have been rather lazy and relied too much on my camera so this was good exercise for me.
I began my week in Lyme Regis; visited West Bay for the first time; walked along the tip of Portland; bumped into an old friend from school at Durdle Door; avoided ricocheting bullets in Kimmeridge Bay and encouraged my dog to swim in Studland Bay.
Photos of work up soon.
