A Private View and a Sea-Side Trip

-

Friday evening was the private view of the group exhibition that I'm taking part in. 




 It's called 'Cornucopia' and will be at The Grant Bradley Gallery in Bristol until March 2nd.


 If you're around this part of the UK, hope to see you there! :)

After all the excitement of the opening night, I was lucky enough to spend the weekend in my favourite place,


with the best view.


From every window was a joy to behold.


Wellies on and a few steps away and I'm right there on my favourite beach.




Some of you might recognise it already?


Surprisingly, there weren't many seagulls around. Where have they all gone? 
While London was getting coated in snow, the sun shone on beautiful, lovely St Ives.

Back down to earth today, the easel beckons and there's lots to do. See you again soon! :)

No need to say where your photos were taken; it is a place I have spent many a happy time.

Thanks for posting about your exhibition in Bristol. It looks so colourful and vibrant, I shall try to pop in before the weekend.

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again. I've always been like this, going through phases of being obsessed with a particular medium thinking yes this is it! This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
