Canal again

Two more from the same walk

Fruits of lockdown.

 I know we are not technically still in lockdown, but I feel it has been almost two years of living like a hermit. At times I have painted and drawn a lot and then the paralysis sets in. I am in that state now. So I thought I should show you some of what I have been doing., in the hope of spurring me on!  I live next to the Bridgwater/-Taunton canal and walk there most days.

This quick sketch, from the towpath, is a bleak day in January a year ago.  Acrylic on watercolour board  305mm x 254 mm. It feels lonely and cold and I was!
