Day 7 Cabin residency

25/8/2019

Wow 7 days already! And my second open day. People on the doorstep today waiting for me to open, great enthusiasm for both the cabin and my work. Had quite a few visitors today so didn’t get much painting done but I did sit and make a start on a new painting of the cabin, this time looking up from the path down to beach. Decided to do a highly detailed watercolour on a lovely piece of hand made Saunders Waterford paper in a 17x11” size. Spent most of the time painstakingly drawing all the stones in the wall as accurately as possible. It’s amazing how the scenery changes here during the days as the tides come later each day and how the beach users seem to all arrive at the same time. Only thing I can’t quite work out is why the first thing the majority of people arriving on the beach do is start throwing stones! The sound of the stones crashing echoes through the whole village, it’s quite disrespectful really but I don’t think they realise how much noise it makes.
