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 |

Hello, your dogs are pretty. I like the shadow shot at the beach. The patterns in the sand are cool. That is a big flock of starlings. The bride is lovely. Wonderful post and photos. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Sunday, enjoy your new week!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous beach photos! I love the wavy patterns and your dogs are so cute. Have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, the water, the sand, dogs, etc etc. I love them all.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely and amazing details in beach photos! And the bride is stunning...
ReplyDeleteWhat joy to see all of these aspects of nature and daily routine, plus paintings. Many thanks for the walk and a great week to you!
Beautiful sand shots - and dog shots - and water shots.
ReplyDeleteI loved the black and white version of the bride and her party. She is lovely, with a beautiful, old-fashioned profile and I am not surprised that you would think about strong fishing-village women. I loved this.
Well, these are all great images, the sand patterns, the fisherwomen, and most of all, your lovely textile hanging - or it might be a painting, with its rhythms and patterns and sea colours. And I really like the synchronicity, as I have just written about the sea, having visited several coastlines lately, and here is your post, dedicated to water! I didn't know that 22nd is world water day.
ReplyDeleteYou have made some great collages again, as usual. All these superb birds, crows I guess.
Happy equinox!

Your painting is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking looking at all the water patterns in the sand and the pretty bride at the pier. The vintage photo and painting were interesting. Either one could have been how my grandmother looked!
Oh, i love your water and sand patterns. But wow your "inspired by water" painting is even more beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really like the picture of the dog's fur.
ReplyDeleteWater is your theme and how it takes you so many different places and directions finally ending up with the strong women of a fishing town. I feel I have traveled far with you today and all with such beauty. Thank you ...
ReplyDeleteAndrea @ From The Sol
