There was a real sense of exhilaration upon leaving full-time employment. Partly in the realization that freedom extends beyond the weekend; partly in the challenge of what to do next; partly in thoughts about those times and places I once knew before adulthood took me away, wondering what they must be like today.
As a child I never went to Skegness, but I think it might now become a place for annual day trips. I am lured by the sense of nostalgia which permeates all British seaside resorts. These sketches are just the preparation for a painting I am considering.
