I've been away from this blog for some time now because I've been unwell.
I'm now on the road to recovery, and a major milestone for me was getting out on to the beach at Ringstead last week.
There wasn't too much wind that day, although it was still quite cold. As I feel quite 'rusty' it was good to have conditions which weren't too harsh for late January.
The painting above was the start of a seascape with figures on the beach. Sadly I couldn't continue with it the following day as the weather had changed, and the shingle had moved significantly overnight.
I still find it amazing that no matter how well I know the beach the power of the waves and tide is such that the changes to the landscape mean I am not able to place my exact spot just a few afters afterwards.
It really was wonderful to be back outside, painting, again. I know I'm healthy when I'm painting outside.
