Corner


This is a corner of the boat with detritus on the shelves as usual. It rained all day while I did this. The good thing about being on a boat when it rains is it's so noisy on the roof. It reminds me of rainy caravan holidays when I was young! Anyway this is my 21st painting - 98 to go! I was pleased with the way this went but I did put more effort into it. I did a tonal sketch and tried to make sure the values were correct. It's also quite messy and not too detailed, which I like.

Cracking Ice


This is a sketch of the front of the boat, with Christmas tree at the side.
The canal was completely iced over this morning. We heard a rumbling and cracking and about 10 minutes later a boat came past. The noise it makes as the ice cracks and grinds against our boat is almost deafening.
