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.
Home now with a cup of tea by the range

dribbling

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’:
