Another Evening on Poldhu

Poldhu again.  The tide was beginning to come in forming pools around the rocks - and the fading light was reflecting in the wet sand.

Poldhu, Mullion, Cornwall

I love all the coves on the Lizard peninsular, having known them for most of my life.  The ones around Mullion in particular hold special memories for me.  Here are a couple of much more recent paintings of Poldhu.  It was a warm evening - the tide was out, the light starting to fade - and nothing to disturb the peace save for the odd gull and the distant lapping of the waves.  Perfect!

Penrose walk, Helston

I mentioned Loe Bar in an earlier post.  Between it and Helston town lies the Penrose Estate - a beautiful wooded parkland now administered by the National Trust.  It surrounds Cornwall's largest natural freshwater lake - Loe Pool.

It's a lovely route to take when walking from Helston to the coast at Porthleven - and a wonderful place to explore in its own right.

The painting was inspired by some photos I took walking back home one bright January afternoon.
