Finding inspiration

 My recent bike ride into Barnstaple was well worth it.  Not only for the exercise, but I also love riding my bike.  Yes, it is electric, and some people say that is cheating because you don't have to peddle - Ha! if only  - you actually have to keep peddling  ðŸš´‍♀️  if not, it shuts down and believe me it is really difficult to peddle.   

An added bonus to riding along the Tarka Trail (apart from not having to cope with traffic) is being able to stop when I see something to photograph.  The other day it was this view of the estuary.  Wow! you wouldn't believe how flat the water was, like glass with the clouds reflected.   

 ~ if you click the image, there a short video clip ~

I will definitely be making these view a painting some day soon.

A little time out

At least a little breather in amongst all the paintings I’ve been doing lately.  Woke with a niggling headache, so chose my exercise today was to take the bike out.

Two-fold success, no actually three-fold infact....

1.  I got exercise on my bike

2.  I used the opportunity to take some reference photos for future paintings

3.   My headache lifted


Here are some of the photos










I also did some short clip videos which I've put together as a
