Last day in Essaouira

We've just enjoyed our last evening meal as a happy group in Essaouira. Today was almost a complete washout for me, painting wise! Rather a shame for our last day, it poured with rain the whole morning, and showered on and off throughout the afternoon. I twice went out with painting kit only to return to the hotel each time after sheltering with a couple of coffees under a canopy, no painting achieved! Then after a restorative break in the hotel decided to give it one final fling! The painting wasn't up to much but at least I got out there and did it for a couple of hours.
It's been such a fantastic week and was just the tonic I'd hoped it would be, a new kick start. I find the light, the harbour, the subjects here all so exciting, and the people very friendly and interested. We painters need to get away and see new things from time to time to fuel our imaginations don't you think?
I've got a very busy week work-wise when I get back on Monday but I'll start to show you the other Essaouira paintings just as soon as I can!
