Oh I do like to be beside the seaside sketches


I had a change of mind on the figure for the painting en route home last night on the train. Thought I'd at least see how a pastiche of the John Hassall figure might look, so I did this quick sketch. However, I wasn't happy that it was original in thought, so I moved on...

    The best thing about water, is that we are allmost weightless in it.
    Maybe this is, why he looks as if he can fly.
