Beach Walk watercolour pencils and ink. Journal page
One of my favourite things to do in winter is to walk along the beach with my dog. There has been a few dogs now that I have done this with, Hannah my latest is dog number four. The one thing that always makes me smile when walking a dog is how far they walk compared with you. I wander in a fairly straight line while they dart all over the place going at least four times the distance as I do. You know with the keen sense of smell that there is so much more for them to discover, I feel rather left out sometimes. But them considering what they like to stick their noses into, perhaps not.
Hannah at the Beach at Lorne
While walking Hannah along the beach at Lorne yesterday a noticed all our prints on the wet sand on the way back and thought what a great pattern they would make, so at lunch time I started the picture. I think it shows how the walk along the beach went.

Footprints make wonderful patterns on sand – they make me think of maps, and that is the kind of feeling you have captured!
Thanks Anna, that is exactly what I was after!
I love a winter beach but have no use for a beach in summer – too hot. Your watercolour conveys the joy of your relationship with the beach. Hannah looks happy under such a blue blue sky.
I also prefer the beach in winter, less people and hassle in winter and you are not so restricted on where/when you can walk your dog.
I love this! It makes me want to bring my dogs and join you. What paint do you use? They are vibrant and beautiful!
You are most welcome to come walking with me. This picture was created with prismacolor watercolour pencils and pigma micron ink pen 03. So glad you liked it.
You certainly made me laugh at this posting. I feel like my dogs always run 4 miles to my one mile when off leash! Hannah is a cutie! 😀
Always so happy when my posts make people smile. Dogs are a great deal of fun, it never seems right to go for a walk without one.
oh so true!
Oh this is a fun one! Love the colors…
Thank you, so glad you liked it, it was meant to be fun and to remind others of the joy of walking with a dog.
