Due to Covid restrictions, other than visiting family, my spouse and I have hardly left our neighbourhood for 2 years! Getting away for a couple of nights recently felt quite strange!
We headed to Cowes on Phillip Island and I got a quick sketch in over a pie at a bakery. We ate at tables outside surrounded by a group of noisy Arabic speaking seniors on a bus trip. Drops of rain sent everyone scattering.
The Cowes Jetty was built in 1870 and on this day there was a long line of people heading for a vessel moored at the end of the pier. My sketch was cut short by rain but by then it was time anyway to head to our destination of Inverloch.
The discovery of a new Malaysian-inspired restaurant (Pearl) on a suburban side street in Inverloch was unexpected and it was the first of some culinary highlights. The restaurant had a "creative" menu (like curry puff filling in house made Rendang flavoured vol-a-vent cases) but all our dishes had authentic Malaysian flavours. What a great dinner!
This couple next to us were eating twice as much as we were and we didn’t even stay to see if they had dessert as well!
All the sketches on this trip were done on-location but colour, text and embellishments were not done till after we got home.
