No.4 has turned into a bit of a trial to photograph! Too much white and pale tones has made it difficult for the camera which just wants to emphasise the contrasts and not the subtleties. Hey ho...the picture above was taken at night using a desk lamp for light and is much closer to the painting.
I loved the marbling texture of the little piece of driftwood. It looks like a piece of old root that has been polished by the sea to a really smooth texture.
I seem to be finding lots of striped things at the moment; bits of pottery, striped pebbles and striped grain on driftwood.

Lisa, the studies are just wonderful! I see what you mean by the light. What a difference.
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE those stripes - really liked getting a peek at your notes, too. Great finds on the shore. Seems you're enjoying these moments of serendipity although it's probably more fun for us!
Beautiful selection of drawings and paintings Lisa.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, and so inspirational--I live at the shore too (Southern NJ, USA) and have so many wonderful things I've picked up along the shore!
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, thank you. I still seem to be noticing stripes everywhere!
ReplyDeleteThank you Caroline :o)
Hi Laura, welcome. I don't think we will ever be lacking inspiration living on the coast will we? We really are so, so fortunate. I wonder at the similarites and differences between our two coastlines on opposite sides of the ocean. - Best wishes for rich pickings.
