I was surprised by how many people were on the harbour front in the old town area of Chania. It took me a while to find a quiet spot to paint. I couldn’t find shade, so I slowly fried while painting. With that in mind, the watercolour didn’t turn out so bad.
The weather on the first day of my winter break wasn’t so good. But no matter. I found this interesting little house by the sea. I am in Chania which is on the island of Crete. Hmmm, maybe it’s not a holiday, I’m painting after all. 😁
36x26cm plein air watercolour.
Finally, finally, I have managed to complete the editing of this video. It was originally filmed in October 2023 on the island of Utö in the Stockholm archipelago. There was plenty of wind, rain and frustration. 
I painted the other week on Beckholmen, Stockholm. The view is of Danvikshem which is very close to where I live. Size: 26 x 36 cm.
I am visiting my mother in Norther Ireland at the moment. The other day I borrowed her car and drove to Groomsport, a small town close to Bangor where I am staying. I sat in the passenger seat of the car and painted this sketch. I am fascinated by the sky here in Ireland, it changes so quickly and can be so dramatic.
I painted in my current favourite sketchbook which has Saunders paper and is 38 x 28 cm in size.
