from coast to coast

sketchbook - sea study waves
[sketchbook drawing - the north sea - graphite on paper]

found time to do some drawing inbetween other things to do… sat only about four or five feet from the white foam and so there is no horizon visible.. i was focusing on the curl of small waves to my left.. prior to this sea study, i did some quick blind drawings in my smaller sketchbook…

a tranquil gaze

June 29th, 2009

after the hustle bustle of the art trail weekend, it was a welcome break to travel to salthouse to install my piece for the art exhibition…. having only ventured to salthouse a couple of times before, i am beginning to wonder if it is perpetually shrouded in an ethereal mist… as we travelled northwards, about ten miles from our destination, a mist appeared, and, unlike the mist of winter which descends slowly, silently and is usually quite still, this mist arrived in waves, moving in smoke-like drifts across the fields…

small paintings for salthouse 09 art exhibition in salthouse church July 2009

the mist scarcely dispersed along the winding coastal road, and became even denser as we neared salthouse… later, taking the short walk across the salt marshes to the sea, from the vantage point of the high shingle bank, all evidence of salthouse the village was erased by a silvery greyness, and looking north, east and west the mist quietly enveloped, obliterating the sea horizon, a sense of direction briefly lost but a strange sense of immensity gained… a vaporous cocoon of immeasurable calm…
