Reluctant Sun
Shortly after I sketched “The Red Costume”, in rolled quite dense clouds. Later that day, the sun was briefly showing; that inspired this sketch. I was remembering childhood beach visits when Mum didn’t want us to go in the sea because, our accommodation being pretty basic, she worried about not being able to dry our rinsed towels and costumes. So the deal would be, ‘You can swim if the sun comes out.’ And, of course, any faint glimpse of brightness up there and one of my sea-keen sisters would be racing towards the ocean!
