This was the third painting I did in Golant, looking across the river. I almost forgot to post this painting because I set up all the others from the UK trip to be posted while I was at the Ovanes workshop. I am finally in a state of at least mental exhaustion from all the travels this summer--ready to be in my studio for awhile with my cat and the heater. Looking back, I had some amazing experiences--from the workshop with Peggi in June and Elio in July to paint-outs in Cle Elum and Lopez Island, to Denali in Alaska, Cornwall and finally to Idaho--it was all pretty amazing.
Wow! You did have a whirlwind summer. I too would be ready for some down time and also time to reflect on all that has happened. Let the memories of the past season play through your mind like a movie...
ReplyDeleteWow! You have had a busy summer! What wonderful memories you must have of all the different things you did. When I was in Fowey, last summer, staying in Polruan, it was a wonderful place to paint. It has been so nice to see your paintings from there and relive being there.
ReplyDeleteWho could ask for more!? A traveler and painter!
ReplyDeleteYour plein air paintings are so nice. So great at simplifying scenes and still seeing the big, beautiful picture. I have my first plein air workshop this weekend and I am scared to death. Will keep your beautiful work in mind.
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan, Elaine and Pam--I hope I can put into practice what I learned! Elaine--we took that walk from the car ferry from Fowey across the bay, back into the estuary and out to Polraun, then the passenger ferry back to Fowey--about 4 km I think. It was a lovely hike! That morning we had gone to the Hurler standing stone circles on the Bodmin Moor and hiked up to the Cheesewing--it was a non-painting day--a wonderful break.
ReplyDeleteCarol--have fun at the workshop. You do lovely studio work with big brush stokes so I imagine the outdoor painting will be a revelation.
