This is my studio from the fish pond and here it is inside.Its a bit cluttered and I like the light to stay outside so it doesn`t bounce around the room.Can you see the Bottle Brush tree

Saturday on the Beach

Spent the day on Marazion Beach. lovely

Surprize

I `m always surprized at what comes out in the painting day. I started with a half finished very reddy painting which when I sat down this morning to finish off just looked at it and said` no` `this isn`t best painting` `and might just be boring to finish off like treading water` so I`m really pleased things got changed and I allowed myself that freedom to do my best.and here is the result,

woops! cooler again

I had to change this picture .Its one I did a few days ago.it had 3 daisies in it but I took a dislike to them and have re arranged the painting to appease my eyes. yes its cool rather than a rise in temperature. Thats how painting goes.

A rise in temperature is coming

Nearly finished my Cornish work now so I can concentrate on other things especially some Marrakech work

So far

Not finished this yet. I`ve been painting it while I have this terrible coldy thing. just going in for 10 or 20mins at a time.

Over the Bay

I`ve had a yearning to do a Blue picture for a while now and I`ve been working on this for 3 days taken bits out and putting bits in .I`ve done this type of subject many times before so its hard to keep it original.The only way I know is to do it when the yearning is there and struggle.

And here is a little flower painting. Its very twee but it rolled off the brush and looks great on the wall.

Nice one

AAAAH! At last I`m painting something for me.

Went for a swim at St Ives Leisure Centre yesteday and took this shot. Sky`s windy and the Sea choppy and dark and still the little town of St Ives looks a picture.

Very Tired today so not able to do much Here is another boat. Not quite finished but again Black and Religious and simple I guess reflecting my mood.

St Ives

Light colours again. This really has to stop!!

St Ives

Well I`ve changed this painting as I wasn`t happy with the still life. . Getting a bit fed up with these light colours.One moment I like them then I don`t.

Fish and Chips in St Ives

When I started this I was unsure as the colours were muted . I like strong colours but every time I applied strong colours I took a dislike to it so I persisted with the lighter touch. Its not quite done yet but its what I had in my mind to produce.The Fish and Chips well thats what St Ives is all about isn`t it.
