Summer Sketching

I've photographed a few pages from my sketchbook, the first is a corner of my friend's house.

It was built by my friend's grandfather in 1920's and stands on top of a hill over looking the coast.

I'm very tempted to make a larger painting of it.

A slice of water melon...very summery!  This was a melon grown across the road...this year a lemon grove was turned into a little market garden.  This is happening more and more as work gets harder to find and  people are going back to their roots, trying to make a business out of the resources they have.

The  melon was delicious by the way!

A windy afternoon  and a quick sketch on the beach.  this one is in my smallest moleskine sketchbook, the one that slips into the side pocket of my bag.
I hope you're having a good summer!
