Here are my last three paintings from the Cornwall trip. The one below is a nice spot we discovered near Botallack. What caught our attention was the arch in the rock, the type of scene many impressionists like Monet and Sisley painted before.

| That's me setting up and putting some suncream on - you can never be too careful |

David Pilgrim was painting the same scene just above me
(surely it has to be so he can steal a trick or two from my painting;) ) |
The one below was my very first painting of the trip. I just arrived from the train station and did that little painting on Sennen beach close to our accommodation. The reflection of the light on the sand was really blinding and I was struggling to see anything (the thought of putting my sunglasses on even crossed my mind but then I knew that you be the most outrageous thing a painter could do - so I refrained myself)

A lady that walked pass me told me that from the distance, she thought I was setting up a barbecue! - I was sorry to tell her that I didn't have any burgers for her;)
 |
| My stool gradually went deeper and deeper in the sand! |
The last painting below was done close to the accommodation on the way down to Sennen beach. It was a beautiful sunset and was a real race against time to catch it before it disappeared. What caught my eye was the swirling road leading to the shiny beautiful water.
