About This Work
Rocks and headland, Palm Beach - I did a plein air charcoal sketch of this view of the headland while staying there last Christmas. It was then coloured at my home studio. I was attracted to the light and shadow on the rocks at the base of the headland. I do a lot of sketches while travelling with bands or on holiday. The sketches I consider more successful will be coloured and exhibited.
