A wonderful day walking to the beach at Blackpool from Hartland Abbey. Blue sky, warm spring sunshine and idyllic surroundings. Rock formations on the beach are amazing. The cottage on the seafront here was used in recent films such as Sense and Sensibility and The Night Porter. Plenty to draw and sketch and perhaps some paintings will come of the visit. At last the warmth of summer is coming. Al

Jardin des Plantes. Paris.
A quick pastel sketch of the wonderful park called the Jardin des Plantes in Paris. Here in this scene it was a warm spring morning and the white avenue edged by trees looked splendid. Runners, families were all here making the most of the crisp sunshine. From here we made our way to the Paris Mosque for wonderful mint tea, a hookah pipe and sweet savoury cakes. Al

The Pit is a wonderful area near Pilton Barnstaple. Soon to be lost to an unnecessary housing estate. A summer picture in pastel showing the buttercups & small white pignut plants.
