Time and Tide: A blog of a year's art residency at the Ythan Estuary
Day 5: Estuary Tidal Mudflats, 01.02.25
A bright but windier and still cold estuary on day 5. Decided to seek more shelter from the elements by spending day up at the 'Tin Hut' just inland from the estuary mouth.
Another freezing but beautiful day spent once again on the side of a dune at Newburgh beach in the company of the grey seals opposite at the Forvie Nature Reserve haul-out.
A freezing but stunning morning with hundreds of seals, gulls, and sanderlings. As temperatures dropped, even my paint water began to freeze. Ended the day watching redwings forage, reminded to let go of perfection and just paint what I see.
A year of painting en plein air at the Ythan Estuary, capturing its beauty in watercolour. Join me on this creative journey, culminating in a November exhibition at Newburgh Village Hall!
