Here are two little studies based on last month’s photographs and sketches of beautiful Akaroa.

Welcome home (word prompts)
We’ve had a brilliant holiday… and it’s also oh so good to be back home : )
These six-word stories were prompted by the Page Flutter Six-Word Story Challenge. I’m also posting a few favourites on Instagram.
5. Coffee chats preferred over restaurant conversations.
6. Reunited! Time apart is quickly forgotten.
7. You’re my anchor and my helium.
8. The escaped turkey was thankful indeed.
9. The seasons never miss a trick.
10. Pumpkin everything? What… even pumpkin beer?
11. Touching down… Brilliant holiday! Welcome home : )
[November prompts: coffee chat, reunited, besties, escaped turkey, harvest, pumpkin everything, touchdown!]

Akaroa
I was so happy with this scene that I decided to dust off the sketchbook…
… and even though it’s not watercolour paper, it still handles the water from my little travel brush surprisingly well.
The other quick sketch from the weekend has been enhanced digitally using Affinity Photo.
