The Lighthouse

It's been a busy week! I've just returned from Southwold, where I spent a couple of days sketching, painting and photographing the lighthouse from all viewpoints in the town. The lighthouse as you can see is very much part of the community and together with Adnams brewery, dominates this little seaside town.

The weather was kind and provided an excellent mix of lighting from flat to dramatic. Culinary delights included Norfolk pork pie and a pint Adnams bitter, and very good coarse pate with slices of white toast. I managed a thirty minute nap on the beach and produced thirty six photographs, twelve drawings and four oil sketches.

Tomorrow I head north to Liverpool and Wales, so I'll  I wish you all a happy and productive weekend, I'll be with you next week.

  1. Wow, some downhome cooking, a beer, a snooze in the sand and there's no stopping you. The simple pleasures and productivity of your doings in Southwold all tied up in a tidy package, how satisfying! Even I sighed contendedly after reading about it.

    That last shot of the shore is a visual poem. Hope your trip north is mighty fine.
