"The last days of Summer!"
We have had a few welcome warm days lately when the braver souls have still
looked for some fun on the beach, and the promenades were full of strollers and the cafes were busy.

Oil 10" x 12" "Late Summer, Camber Sands" As the tide was going out fast I actually painted the wet sand first. Ten minutes later it was dry!
This balmy weather did not last long so I decamped to Dungeness. This wide shingle beach was the start of the cross channel fuel pipeline to France (Pluto) during the Second World War and for years was very polluted by spilled oil but now the wild plants have returned and a few people who love the wild solitude of the ple live in small wooden houses on the beach. The nuclear power station dominates the skyline so it sometimes seems better to include it than to try to find a viewpoint which avoids it!
