‘Found Beachcoming 3’ pastel painting features feathers from seabirds amongst the shells, glass & seaweed.
Our seabirds are treasures in themselves & their ‘beach coming’, somewhat more essential than ours.
Each collection trip to a beach is also a return- of items borrowed to draw and paint.

My Dad was diagnosed with cancer just over a year ago.
Unable to spend much time on artwork, I would grab a few hours here & there, between hospital trips.
Focussing on light, colour & texture helped me to cope & continues to be a comfort, following Dad’s passing.
I am grateful to have this.
