‘One of my pleasures used to be walking both on the coastal path and on the beach, especially with my dog. Claws is no longer with us, but I did this pastel of me with him on the beach at Carbis Bay. This was before we moved to Cornwall, but I feel his spirit is still with us and I tried to capture his excitability and bounciness in this depiction of us enjoying the gentle lapping waves.’ (Pastel drawing)
