Colour palettes

The photo below, of peeling paint on an abandoned rowing boat,  has continued to intrigue me, and I asked my elder son to help me extract a colour palette.  He did extract the colour palette below, but in such a blur that I'll find it tricky to duplicate the process.  He's definitely not a natural teacher.

A break in Devon

So many bloggers show photographs of their work placed in beautiful, natural surroundings, that I was inspired by our accommodation this week to photograph an ongoing project, " Morley Moons" outdoors.



The weather was predictably wet, but where we were staying, had glorious views which enabled me to watch how the sky changed as I was stitching.





Lots of muddy walks, practising map-reading


and finding some great colour studies along the way.


There was even a sunset, but the stars had disappeared by the time we had finished dinner with friends.
