On Hold
It was later than I wished, but I pressed on,
nevertheless, and began to fight the wind, and the glare off the water. My wonderful sketching umbrella blew inside
out more than once, so I closed it down, and persevered; it's a tough umbrella
and none the worse for its ordeal and I learned that there is a point where
there is too much wind for it; working without it made it more difficult in the
glare of the Sun. I had more than one
person taking photos of me as I worked. I
normally have a very small brush cleaning tin (complete with a screen and lid)
hung off the tripod, but with the windy conditions I either had it on the
barnacles near my right foot, or did not use it at all; it normally contains
safflower oil for the cleaning purposes.
I did what I could until fed up with the wind and the glare, and did
about an hour of finishing off once I was back in the studio. For more, visit www.StevenThorJohanneson.blogspot.com.
Note:This work
will be for sale via this blog for a few days only, as I will be framing it and
taking it off to one of my Galleries the next week or the week after.
