Who pays the Ferryman?

I have been working on some lovely textures lately in preparation for my next book due for publication in 2014.
I know it seems a long way off, but the photography work all needs to be done in July which doesn't give me that much time to create lots of lovely paintings for it. So, I have had to put my canvas boards away and concentrate on using other water soluble media.

This couple were wonderful, I noticed them on the Dartmouth ferry crossing late last summer, they were totally wrapped up in each other, it was lovely to see and I just had to capture the moment.
This painting could be the start of a story.....

Sometimes when I sit and watch people, I think of their lives, who they might be and where they might be going.
