Quite how the two sites will interrelate is still under consideration

Amanzimtoti

here are two watercolours of the beach at ‘toti where I am working with a client and stayed overnight.  As I got to the beach a ski-boat was circling in the waves, which dwarfed the boat, waiting for a gap to go out to sea – round and round and then zoom – out dodging the breakers.  The first painting is captures the colours:

toti1-D

then I thought the composition a bit tame so I did this one:

toti2-D

After this I ran down the steps in the painting and had a swim in the gloriously warm Indian Ocean, pausing to check with a passing local that I was not going to eaten alive (“I don’t hope so..”)  heh heh.
