As the tide drops we walk out across the reef, coral is exposed, fish are darting through the shallows, the channel markers loom precariously out of the water. I walk the reef as my partner fishes, I take photos and I sketch, notebook balanced on my knee.
I think of light, shadow, water, composition, the vision of my next painting is created as I stand on the rock that I will portray on canvas.
