Inspired by the magnificent scenery of Brittany – even on grey days (or especially on grey days) – I have begun a painting of the coast at Lanildut where we went for a marvellous walk last Sunday. There was another painting, still in progress, on my easel but I’m waiting for the sea at Cabbage Tree Point (Queensland) to dry so I exchanged it for a new canvas that beckoned to be painted in shades of grey.

My two new paintings, unfinished as yet, couldn’t be more different from one another; one is moody and grey whilst the other is blue sky and white sand. I’m thoroughly enjoying painting both but think I’ll carry on with my “Study in Grey – Lanildut” tomorrow morning.

Sorry about the slight lack of clarity in the photographs but it’s completely dark outside and I was using my mobile phone camera in artificial light.
