Walking the mornington peninsula national park trail yesterday. Rested beneath the shade of the cliffs and managed a brief 5 minute sketch. Drinking water as precious as gold in this heat, so resorted to spittle with watercolor. Plenty of salt water about but that wouldnt do much good to my materials. Pretty soon, the waves started encroaching on my safe little hideaway, so thought it best to move on.

 I found some beautiful beach finds, and some not so beautiful. A bag full of other people's rubbish is what I also came home with. There are no rubbish receptacles to be found on this stretch of coastline, only a useless sign saying 'please take your rubbish home with you.'

To paint. To care for it as I would my own home. I really wish I lived closer.
