After a long time away from my easel I bought a set of paints for travelling. A trip to Lord Howe was planned and I needed to prepare. To test the palette I copied this boat scene from a book. And isn't it a great little picture? The colours and vibrant movement just catches the eye.
As for Lord Howe it was spectacular but I didn't paint as much - too busy enjoying the pristine waters and marine life. I did some sketches and now back at the studio have started a diptych. I will post this when I'm satisfied.... which hopefully will not be too long a wait
