This is Bude, where I live and is the place I love, well it is not exactly Bude, it is an amalgamation of Bude. I have spent the last week or so working on this design, gathering all the ideas of what to put in and what to leave out. Unusually for me this is half digital, I drew everything out in black and white, chose a few areas to be solid black and then added the colour digitally so that I could play about with it until I had what I wanted.
This is a view of Mousehole, a beautiful fishing village on the South Cornwall coast near Penzance.
Today’s painting is of Godrevy lighthouse in St Ives Bay, Cornwall.
Watercolour paint and pencils today. This is a little corner of Mousehole, a fishing village way down on the end of Cornwall not far from Penzance.
Padstow Harbour on the Camel estuary in Cornwall.
Mevagissey Morning. Mevagissey on the South coast of Cornwall, a wonderful old fishing village steeped in the tales of smugglers. I love the houses stacked up like seats in a theatre. They all have a good view of the action taking place in the harbour.
Girl on a beach, another of my daughter many years ago, quite fitting for the time of year and the temperatures at the moment.
A limpet on a rock on the beach in Bude, in Cornwall. This is part of a series of rock paintings.
Back to landscape today, one of my favourite places, Boscastle. This is a watercolour paint and watercolour pencil depiction of Boscastle Harbour just after sunset.
Today it is Port Isaac Rooftops. As you work your way down to the harbour the narrow lanes give you little glimpses of the village.
