My wife and I drove to Southend on Sea for a painting picnic. We filled the car with painting equipment, a blanket, and a basket of food. I did not bring an easle... fear of the wind blowing too hard and my painting falling onto the ground. Working on the ground wasn't easy for the sand kept finding its way onto the canvas. Half the time I was painting... the other half I was brushing the tiny grains of sand off.

The tide slowly moved out as the day passed. Less people were walking up and down the beach.

The light, the clouds... a silver ray of light. It was an incredible experience to paint on the beach. I must say that it was rather stressfull putting the paintings in the back of the car and driving home (the fear of flies, insects, dust... ). The paint fumes were very strong and we drove the the sun roof open.

 

The boats floated like musical notes.

The light was so clear and clean... silver rays of light danced.
