Last Wabi Sabi painting workshop at The Vault by the sea..This time , Buck ,a sailor. Listening to stories of sailing in the North Atlantic round the Scottish Islands and sailing alone at night. Seeing rare jelly fish. It all appeared in the spontaneous paintings,. The meditative technique enables images that capture the essence of nature . A Moby Dick, a bee and painting in the heat this weekend was an extreme sport. No messing around ,doing things backwards , scrunching up the paper before painting on it instead of after.
