BEACH DAY










I get a lot of my inspiration from Nature. We found ourselves again this Sunday at the beach. The weather was very mild for the 18th of October - practically no wind and the seas glass like and calm. Elizabeth and Quinn waded in the water along the shoreline looking for treasures - shells and special rocks - occasionally throwing a rock or piece of driftwood into the ocean.

I was inspired by a washed up, hollow acorn. It made the most perfect tiny vessel for a pretty posy of lingering summer flowers.
The colours were muted hues of blue, green and grey infused with an ever so soft yellowy sun. We watched the sea birds and the ferry come and go along with the ebb and flow of the gentle tide. Beautiful and inspiring.
