Boat

I'm creating a drawing a day, regards of how much sleep I get, or who is getting teeth! I'm not sure if that is good professionalism, or just nuts! #drawingadayclub

Sorrento, Australia

I'm creating a drawing a day, just for the art of it. Today's is Sorrento Back beach (the surf beach side) if I win the lottery I'm going straight back here! #drawingadayclub #kirsteenlyonsartThis is Sorrento in the mornington peninsula, Melbourne. Near Jasmine's grand parents house. It has two beaches. A sheltered beach bay side, and a surf beach on the side of the sea. The town is full of surf shops and tamed windswept people who call their flip flops "thongs".

Comino, Malta

This is the island of Comino, off the coast of Malta. There are no shops or houses, just rocks and beach. You take a picnic and a boat drops you for the day. When I went I lost a sandal in the med, of the front of the boat. A big wave just sucked it right off my foot which was hanging off the side of the boat. but I didn't need it all day. #drawingadayclub

Abu Dhabi, escape British February!

This is Abu Dhabi. It's so so so hot you think your standing in the blast from a jet engine the whole day long! I got a real fright when a fish nibbled my foot! Those foot spas you get...I was not paid up or ready, and I nearly jumped clean out of two meters of water warmer than your last sauna! I'm thinking of doing a whole set of beaches I wish I was back at instead of in Britain in February! #drawingadayclub #kirsteenlyons #kirsteenlyonsart

We are going looking for this beach in 2019!

Today's is a beach on the Adriatic coat so it's firmly on the planned route for our year long trip round Europe.

Reasons to get rid of our stuff, make our jobs portable, and explore Europe in a camper!

Meet new people. More ocean in my life. More mountains. More time outside. Draw and paint from life. Learn new skills. Learn languages. Inspiration from new stimulus. Teach my kids to be self reliant. Educate my kids with doing and looking, not just listening and writing down. Spend less than we make. Less cooking (a little). Less cleaning. Less to regret missing when old. Stay active/ fit. Be more like my heroes. Get out of repetitive lifestyle. Quality time with my family. The kids spend lots of time away from screens and wifi. We collect adventures not clutter. Easier to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, salad and fish. Shed middle class suburban ideas that are holding us back in our comfort zone.

Fossils in the ground.

A lot of the soil around here is chalk, and was once a beach.

Moonrise

Beach, Birling Gap

I am doing a drawing a day for 2016, just for the art of it.

I went with my family to this beach recently. 80 mile an hour winds and they closed the beach for safety but we walked up the cliff path and had a brilliant time!
