How I want to be back here today, where the sail boats seemed to float through the clouds.

This sketch from a few months ago is Lake Windermere and a quick trip to see friends. We were skimming stones and following the ducks along the shore, letting time drift while we let our breakfast settle and the nearby aquarium get ready to open.

I stood at the end of one of the jetty’s and sketched the view, the mirror surface of the water made the lake look like an extension of the clouds above. It was mesmerising and I am so glad I made this quick painting, looking at it it takes me right back there now.

We stayed at the Lakeside Hotel and Spa, and I would go back in a heart beat 🙂
