Seagulls were the backing band and sometimes the lead singers in this morning’s dawn chorus, so experimenting with adding them as an element to today’s painting. I do like to watch them soar. #coastalexplorations. #lifeinacoastaltown

Out enjoying the light today. Definitely feels like seasons are changing. VERY slow walk run to the edge, shoes off and taking a breath. North Sea like a pond today. Love foghorns, think it’s a childhood memory thing. Looks like the foghorn and me are listening to the sea, it has much to say. #coastalexplorations #scottishartist #scottishpainter #scotlandlover #lfarttribe #northeastscotland

Why have one pallet when you can have three. Unsurprisingly the blues have one all to themselves. Any other ideas? #coastalexplorations

Feels good to have painting time today after a few days of doing different things. Worked on this one and I think it’s almost there. Will go back to it in a couple of days to see if it needs any final tweaks. #coastalexplorations

Listening to the gusts of wind rattling the windows has influenced my painting energy. Must be a pretty rough North Sea today. #coastalexplorations #scottishart #scottishartist #scottishpainter #scotlandlover #abstractlandscape #abstractseascape #seascapepainting #paintinginprogress #contemporaryart #contemorarypainting #lfarttribe #acrylicpainting #northseacoast

What do you think, stay ‘in the pink’ or use it for underpainting? Just looked out the window and sky is pink here tonight. It’s a sign! Another small canvas experiment. #coastalexplorations #scottishart #scottishartist #scottishpainter #scotlandlover #abstractlandscape #abstractseascape #seascapepainting #paintinginprogress #contemporaryart #contemorarypainting #lfarttribe #acrylicpainting
