...or rather, rippling. The texture and colour of the water in the harbour is quite fascinating - almost like a textile pattern in this case. It's not until I really started paying attention that I realised it never looks the same. I started this on Friday at the NB Art Group drop-in session. We have two hours on a Friday morning (and a longer four hour stint once a month) in a local hall to work on whatever we like. A nice friendly group - painting, chat and coffee. There is quite a bit of work to be done in the water, with a very small brush. Next work will need to be done with a large one, for a bit of a contrast! Time to give the boats a wee break now I think...

Because the weather is entirely too autumnal for it to be much fun outside today I am spending the day at the easel, usually something of a rare event at the weekend. I do like a nice buoy (or two)...
Another of my favourite little blue boats. The reflections in the water will be very colourful - the painted old wall with benches along it is a nice deep coral colour. The timber benches are packed with people on a sunny day, enjoying the sun, or fish and chips - or lobster!
The first in my boat series to feature no boats. Not a single one. Floats and tyres though, a few of them. The harbour wall has turned out more tan than I really like so will have another go and tone it down to a more tasteful hue.
