Another walk along the west across the middle and back along the eastern in land facing shore.
A chat on the way, through the hedge, with Neill and Annie clearing their potato patch and Steven digging for razor clams in the low tide sand.
Passed ‘my’ well again. And a quick visit with my neigh our.

My daughter thinks that dribbles in paintings are lazy
Some people think dribbles are simply gross
I think that dribbles are part of an organic, unpredictable way of making abstract work
I find dribbles in the work that I make, inspired by the rain and the clouds and the wetlands of rural Ireland, are appropriate
But what do you think?
And heres a famous ‘dribbler’:
Joan Mitchell
new work in my studio started today
2 canvases80cm square
oil and siccative, turpentine, masking tape (later removed)
and spray paint
the yellow spray can misbehave and went everywhere
met a fellow artist in Lidl later on, sent off reprimanded to buy a mask with a charcoal. filter
managed to find the right sort of mask in an auto body spray workshop (duh!)
also bought a pack of cool blue disposable rubber gloves, as spray paint is very hard to get off my hands!
orange band
torn and sprayed and cut and stuck
scribble and gesture and colour and swirl
