Sketching in lanzarote: Day 10. A Little Bit of Fame

[by Lynne Chapman, from England, in Lanzarote] After a day of walking in the hills, we treated ourselves to a coffee at the same little street café as the day before. Then we sat down at the sea edge. The colours were so vibrant. It was mesmeric, watching the sea crashing over the rocks and gradually filling the swimming area. I took the opportunity to do a painting. It was a bit of a challenge, but I was very interested in the clear water in the walled-off section.

Little did I know, but a resident of Punta Mujeres was watching me from the café above. It turned out that she was a regular writer for the Lanzarote resident’s magazine.

She took lots of photos and says I will be a feature in the March or April edition!

We chatted to her and her husband and they bought us a beer. Then, when we realised we had missed our bus home, they invited us into their home, gave us home-made lentil soup and local wine and then drove us back to Haria. How lovely is that? Sketching does it again!
