That might look like a nice glass of wine. In fact its a nice plastic of plonk. I guess my landlady doesn’t trust guests will real glasses.

Turks and Caicos
1268 – My arsenal
I have been told that it is sandflies that have been pestering (and eating) me over the last few weeks, so I have armed myself with repellent and soothing itch relief!

1267 – Let it mellow
There is a sign on the bathroom wall where I am staying – giving advice about how to save water. That’s where the title for this sketch comes from…I hope I don’t have to say more. Sometimes when things seem to just line up right, I have the urge to draw them…this was one of those moments.

1266 – Pelican sunset
Another beach drawing done at the end of my long walk last Sunday. I’ve seen many paintings on line, of sunsets, but this is my first. As I only sketch in-situ I don’t get many opportunities! Naturally this was painted very quickly as it soon got dark. If you are wondering about the title, the beach is called Pelican Beach.

1265 – Dry dock
On Sunday I took a long looping walk up towards the end of the island, past lots of expensive villas and new developments, and then back down the beach. I drew this sketch at the point where I couldn’t walk any further.

1264 – Jetty
Here is the first of my weekend sketches – done just at the edge of Grace Bay, after taking a long walk along the beach. Struggling to get to grips with painting the sand!

1263 – Trees everywhere
Here is another sketch done in the morning before going to work – just standing at the kitchen sink, looking out the kitchen window at my landlady’s garden. Trying to get my foliage more leafy in this one!

1262 – Morning meditation
This might seem like an odd title, but I find sketching a meditative process – I concentrate fully on the act of seeing and representing what I see, on paper. Although I am looking more closely at the world around me, it takes me away from worldly worries. I did this one in the morning before going to work.

1261 – Sketching in bed
Here is just a quick drawing done at the close of the day – I didn’t have time to sketch in the morning…but just a little doodle in the evening keeps me going creatively!
