Just a couple of beach sketches from long ago when we regularly visited Charmouth in Dorset in our little red VW Beetle with our small son. I'll find some more. Happy memories brought back as only a sketch on the spot can do! #pastel #Dorset

Pastel sketch on Charmouth beach where we regularly holidayed when child was small. Looking back I love the little details like the guy in the black socks. I have several of these old seaside sketches so maybe I'll feed them in gradually. #art #pastel #pleinair #Charmouth #Dorset

I don't think I'll make a series of images, but I'm calling all of these latest ones 'The 3 fabulous days of fog' - I've never taken a reverse image of Gold Hill before. Something new! #Photography #BlackAndWhite #Landscape #LandscapePhotography #Monochrome #Fog #Fujifilm #Dorset #Urban
