A large swell brought out the serious surfers this afternoon down at Cottesloe Beach, only the brave ventured into the water to try catch a wave before it broke on the beach…This sketch painted really rapidly directly with watercolour (no drawing first – didn’t have time as the rain clouds were approaching) surfers added at the end with fountain pen
Massive (21 story?) building going up on the old Subiaco Pavillion Markets site at the moment, looks to be about half built – “L 12” is written on the lift shaft. When it’s finished it’s going to be huge, towering over everything and everyone. I had fun sketching this from the bike path on Roberts Road, the bright red concrete pump, the yellow and red scaffolding and the big cranes stretching up into the sky.

There’s lots of activity at the old Princess Margaret Hospital for children site…demolition is well underway, lots of big machinery and a big crane dismantling the buildings, a steady stream of trucks arriving to transport the rubble away. I wonder how and when they will remove the big chimney…
A catch up page of some of the sketches from October 2020…
A few recent sketches of City Beach in Perth, we have Covid-19 restrictions but have been allowed to go to the beach to exercise so long as we are appropriately socially distant. A swim and a sketch…
Lake Cowan a salt lake just outside Norseman….some water in the lake a thick crust of salt shining in the early morning sun.
