My painting "Inspired by Water" (Detail) - acrylic and gold paints on canvas (130cm x130cm) |
Sand Dunes - Starlings - Princess - A Carrion Crow Today March 20th is the Spring Exuinox and Tuesday March 22nd is World Water Day |
We are on a beach in East Lothian watching a small stream gurgle out to the sea. The patterns look like flowing curly hair.........with paw prints! |
My dogs want to see what I'm looking at and walk about in front of me, sometimes casting shadows or standing on the subject. |
Water patterns echo Maddy's flowing wavy hair. |
Shadow dog and waves on the sand The dark marks are fine coal dust washed up from the sea bed. |
In a near-by town yachts are being prepared for the Spring launch in early April. |
The old harbour, once used by fishing vessels, now serves modern needs. |
As we are about to leave,a bride floats by accompanied by an group of spectators with children, buggies and dogs. The wedding party is on it's way to a photo shoot on the old harbour wall. |
I'm reminded of 19th century images depicting strong women in local fishing communities. Morelle Smith has written a beautiful "inspired by water" post on her blog Rivertrain ........ HERE |
