Sketching in the morning before going to work again – good therapy to calm my mind. This is the second car I’ve rented this trip – the first one stuttered when I put my foot on the gas and then that dreaded warning light appeared on the dashboard. The rental company quickly swapped it for this one.

Here is another drawing from the weekend – drawn at the end of the day after having been working…but still having the drive to do a bit of drawing.

I may have had to work on Sunday but this is the view I had most of the time – except when it rained and later I took a breakdown to have a dip in the pool. I can’t complain!

Here is the second sketch I did on my Saturday walk down the beach (I can’t say that beaches are my favourite thing to sketch – I always struggle to get the idea of surf and waves). It’s a beautiful part of the island – I had the place all to myself apart from 1 or 2 other walkers/strollers. In the background is the famous Grace Bay beach…in my opinion rapidly being spoilt by over-development. But of course if you are staying in one of the resorts there, looking out, you only see the beautiful sea and beach, so may have a different perspective!

Yesterday I walked to the beach near my place – which apparently is called pelican beach…though of course, no pelicans around. I wanted to take a nice long walk from this point towards Grace Bay, but found the way blocked by some landowners sea defences, built right down to the water. Perhaps at low tide it’s possible to walk along the sand. Anyway I did this hurried sketch and went back to the road to find a way to get on the beach further down.

I am trying to get into the habit of getting up earlier and sketching in the morning before I go to work (this is one area where jet lag helps) – it’s lighter (it’s darkening by the time I get home from work) and I have more energy. This one was done from my veranda – what a magnificent tree this is.

Drawing this before going to work almost made me late. I am suffering from a rash of mosquito (or midge) bites on my feet – stupidly forgetting (or not thinking I needed) repellant on my first evening here when I sat out on the veranda.

The new apartment (studio) I am renting is very tasteful and painted in either white or off white. Thank goodness there are a few touches of colour in the furniture.

Here is my first sketch in the new apartment I am renting in Providenciales …just a doodle from the couch of what I can see.
