A few days in Delightful Devon

The Cary Arms at Babbacombe, watercolour 36 by 25 cms.

Hi Everbody

We have just had a few days on the very sunny South Devon coast, staying at the lovely Cary Arms Hotel in Babbacombe Bay.

South Devon has many lovely places to visit and one of our favourites is Dartmouth and the River Dart.

Time too for a few watercolours ,sketces and a  formal watercolour.

We also ate in two very good restaurants whilst there plus in our Hotel where the food is good too!

In Torquay I would recommend Amici, an Italian restaurant in the heart of the town.

In Babbacombe we would highly recommend The Waddling Duck at Hamiltons, just superb and good value too.

The National Trust property of Coleton Fairacre is for us one of the best in the Country , featuring an Art Deco House and stunning gardens looking out over the sea. My next subject for a sketch!

Anyway here are few watercolours and sketches

The River Dart near Dittisham. “Greenways”, Agatha Christie’s former home can bee seen across the river. Watercolour 36 by 21 cms.

The view from our Terrace at The Cary Arms. Sketch 22 by 18 cms

Paignton Harbour in Devon.Sketch 22 by 18 cms

Brixham Harbour, sketch

If you know South Devon then I hope you will enjoy seeing these paintings. If you haven’t been then do go, you will enjoy the many charms of the lovely area of England.

Happy travelling to you all!
