So my holidays (vacation) have begun and I’m back to using watercolour moleskine – ah! they are nice.
First page, done last night, is dedicated to a dear friend in Scotland who passed away last week. I did this at approximately the same time as the funeral was being held in the highlands.

The flower is Sturt’s Desert Rose the state flower of Northern Territory.

Today, I went to Manly Beach briefly this morning – not there long but enough to do a quick sketch and get my feet in the sand and the ocean.

(a good start to my summer holiday!)
