A Trifle Breezy – Watercolour
So the end of the world didn’t happen. I’m beginning to wonder if the calculations were just slightly out. Parts of Scotland are being hit, as I paint this, by a ferocious storm with 70-80mph gusts of wind accompanied by rain. This WAS forecast despite the misguided predictions of Armageddon. At least we are spared the awful storms in other parts of the globe, especially those in the USA.

Yes, it was breezy and more is to come tomorrow. I think the last of my hair is under threat.
