True to form, I was tasked some time ago to paint some pictures to support the annual RNLI Art Exhibition at Instow and having been a bit busy left it to the last minute. With a few days to go I realised that I needed to paint some pictures fast! Aagh, man overboard!
When you're busy you do the urgent stuff and leave the non-urgent stuff until it becomes the urgent stuff! That's how it seems to be at the moment. Anyway, as I write this paintings are now finished, just need framing and on to the next panic.
Still, it is all for a good cause, to support the RNLI and the local Appledore Lifeboat station. The ever popular fundraising Annual Exhibition and Sale of Paintings and Crafts will be held between 26th to 28th October at North Devon Yacht Club in Instow, everyone is welcome.
When all said and done, and for all the panic, what I do is not a matter of life and death. The crews that man the RNLI lifeboats around the country risk life and limb to protect us all year round. They are volunteers, ordinary local people who offer their services free of charge so that we can be safe.
So, please go along and support your local lifeboats and perhaps buy a picture in the knowledge that your contribution may help save someone's life, maybe even yours.

This is a painting entitled 'Mollie Hunt, Lady of the Sea' by Rob Walker which will be on show at the Exhibition in Instow.
