After being indoors all day painting at the easel, in fact
pretty much all week. I was in need of some open space, peace from the rat race
and noisy neighbours, and to find my place in natural surroundings. I took
myself off on my bike to Clayhaith.

I did this watercolour sketch as the sun was setting, the
atmosphere and colours were amazing.
For me twilight is the most mysterious and magical time when
looking at the landscape. There are often amazing colours and harmonies to be
seen and the contrast in tones pales out to beautiful hues. But once the sun
had sunk the temperature also dropped dramatically, thoughts of hot tea and
buttered toast, a warm abode and wishing I had brought an extra per of socks.
Time to go home.
