November 17
Caught a glimpse of blue in my bedroom skylight. Up and out to return to Benwee. Forty minute drive west from Ballycastle. The light shifted several times while I painted.
Windy, chilly but sun hung around for four oil sketches

Drove a mile south to the beach to try a few more sketches. Encountered a border collie (Sam) who did not like the idea of Tulip going by his house.
Sam kept trying to herd the car - or bite the tire. Hard to tell sitting in the car. Went to house and owner called him inside.
