 Salen wrecks These are probably the most painted/photographed wrecks on Mull! When an experienced artist visits for a painting holiday/day, it tends to be a day of painting in company rather than tuition unless specific help is asked for. Tim did this quick sketch while taking a fellow-artist to some favourite spots where they could both paint. |

 Sketching Lisbon from Black Watch Sketching from the deck of Black Watch on what turned out to be the ship's final cruise, just days before Covid lockdowns began. Passengers were not allowed to land but Lisbon's very photogenic from the sea (or should that be sketchogenic?). |
