we cycled round cornwall and stumbled on this cove by accident , loved it a quiet secluded place , and think your painting is lovely too !

Your use of a winding path to draw the eye in is inspired Barry. And a good use of harmonious colour to bounce the viewers eye from the foreground to the quayside. Cheers Glyn

Have almost completed walking the Southwest Coast Path, which has become an addiction over the years. It has been a constant source of inspiration for my painting. However, I didn't find Lamorna or its setting especially attractive when I walked this area a few years ago, but something about the photographs I took made me realise recently its potential for a painting scene. I decided on a fairly limited palette and added a touch of alizarin in most of the colour mixes to help harmonise the painting. About half the work was done by palette knife, most of the rest by brush. I also drew with pen dipped into very watery mixes of acrylic paint. Size: 17" x 17".
