Two major reasons I have not been getting much painting done are:

1) very distracted by the sea. 

2) Despite zero experience in the maintenance and repair of bicycles, let alone decrepit folding bikes dating from the seventies, I’ve been messing around with the rusty piece of much-loved junk pictured above. Full title Viscount Trusty Delta, informally known as Sexybike.

Cove. 

A fairly rare attempt at landscape, or rather seascape. This was inspired by a trip I inadvertently took to a small coastal village somewhere in west Galway. I was feeling cranky and antisocial so I took a camera and a bottle of wine and took a ride on a bus until I got to somewhere I didn’t recognise. I highly recommend it.
