Aprés le petit dejeuner

We had wind and storms during the night and several hours of rain this morning so we stayed at the house to paint a still life.
Rather than setting something up specially I declared the remains of breakfast to be a fit subject!
It kept everyone absorbed for hours!
I wanted to capture the effect of the light spilling across the table from the open door behind in this fairly speedy watercolour.
Beforehand I did this sketch of Brenda silhouetted in the doorway.
Later we went out to sketch in the port area and even had a little sunshine!
