The jack-up barge left early this morning. I was down in time to catch it just before it disappeared behind the harbour arm.




I have made a painting of my friend Marylyn Edwards. It’s looking like my Codgers and Wags series might actually happen!
I’m told that the Jack-up barge is likely to be at #HastingsPier for another 7 – 10 days. This is a once in a lifetime event, so I will keep recording it with daily paintings.






I’ve continued to making iPad paintings of the pier and the Jack up barge and have sneaked an extra one in that doesn’t have the pier in it too.











It’s been all go at Hastings Pier this week as the Jack-up barge has allowed more and more of the old iron-work from the ballroom to be removed. I’ve been there each day documenting it.






The excitement in Hastings at the moment is that the Jack-up barge has arrived to help with the repair of Hastings Pier. You can expect lots of painting of it in the next few weeks.






I’ve had a full August. I’ve been away to Scarborough and Brittany as well have having a lovely staycation with Nicky. Lots of painting too.

























I was struck by how much burnt wood there was on the high tide line of St Leonards Beach yesterday. Of course, it has washed down from the fire at Eastbourne Pier on 30th July 2014. The surprise was, when I walked along the high tide line, not all of the black stuff was burnt wood.

This is the second time running I’ve posted my paintings after 2 weeks not one. Still doing them every day though!
