A lovely man had his funeral today. I can only say, that I was lucky to have gotten known James a little bit, while I lived in Oxford. Such a tragedy that he should leave this world so suddenly and untimely!

Then in February I painted this watercolour of some coloured boats on the beach at Hope Cove in Devon. Actually really enjoyed painting this, have family ties to the place. #watercolour #painting #art #HopeCove

Sunset at Hope Cove. I took the photo 10 years ago and had it in my mind to paint it in gouache, so here it is. I’ve spent a lot of time there in the past, and I’ve got family connections there. This painting was done for me to stretch myself and try things, and as a result has issues in it. Hence I don’t expect to get many likes, but I always show my work even my bad paintings so you can learn. Gouache on Arches paper one quarter imperial in size. #gouache #watercolour #hopecove #devon #art
