Sea Sketch

Third and final post for today. I'm not as prolific as this many posts would make it seem ! Just that quite a lot of things got finished today. I went down to Cape Cornwall today and absorbed the magnificent way the sea was roiling along and crashing on the rocks. I painted this in the studio to remind me what it was like. This is the only thing done from start to finish today.

It's also an hommage to Jim Wright, a painter and musician friend who was down there doing the real thing with a big painting board acting almost like a sail. What he was doing inspired me. You can see his work : HERE

It's the lower end of Kenidjack castle from Cape Cornwall.

These are the final two pieces for the Cornish mines project Part 2
The series of images all stems from my response to a photo I took on a walk around Levant Mine.
Have a look HERE to see the original image and some earlier pieces.
Now I can move on to my response to the third photograph in the series.

Purple Interlude

Had a little purple session to refresh me for carrying on with the mines project. It's good to just play at something completely different.
