On Sunday, having worked most of the weekend, I finally managed to get outside and do some sketching. I took a short walk to Blue Haven Marina, plonked myself near the jetty and quickly sketched this. It was getting dark so I had to be faster than usual….and then just as I was finishing it rained. I’d normally spend more time finishing a painting so this one has a half done feel! While I was drawing someone came and had a look – which is always nice.

After sitting on the edge of the jetty for my previous sketch (you can see the boat I drew on the far left), getting bitten by mosquitos and always in danger of dropping my kit into the sea, I found a concrete bench to sit at for this second sketch in Blue Haven Marina. Just as I was finishing this heavy clouds came over – a big hint that it was time go pack up and go home before getting soaked.

Just had to get out to sketch on Sunday despite the possibility of roasting in the sun or getting soaked in a storm. As it was the weather was fine. The Turks and Caicos Islands have beautiful beaches and is also popular with boat owners, so I thought seeking out a marina to sketch at would be fun. It was so quiet at this spot that the noisiest thing where I sat were the shoals of big fish splashing around below.
