We have just traveled up the East Coast from the Wash up to Lindisfarne, awe inspiring, was maybe the best way to describe it all.
It was a holiday because we were both tired, however it was also research on my recently started project, looking at how old fishing boats, when deserted slowly decay back towards nature. Paint flakes, wood rots and metal rusts. if you look closely there is great beauty there. So it was good fun poking around all sorts of deserted little estuaries, havens, ports and even farm yards, Boats end up dumped everywhere, such good fun finding these out of the way places.
Lindisfarne was awesome, the above image was painted whilst being seated on the grass just above the old jetty. It was late afternoon, warm, with a gentle breeze, which had a slight nip in it, very pleasant. Nobody around, just peaceful and relaxing.
