Wild Seas in Cornwall

We spent the day down in Cornwall on Sunday and it was as warm as summer, the sea was amazing with huge clear waves causing the sea to froth like ragged lace. There were many seals appearing to be enjoying it, here is a picture of two who were keeping an eye on me above! Also a kestrel hovering above the cliff top and the huge waves breaking onto Holywell beach

Sir Roger Moore

On Friday we went to Bath to the Theatre Royal to see Sir Roger Moor talk about his life especially his role as James Bond as he has just had a new book published Bond on Bond. It is amazing to think of him now being 85! He still looks very sauve and his voice is just the same. Here is a picture taken at the book signing after the show when the queue stretched right out of the theatre and down the road, he is sitting with his wife Christina.

CHAGFORD

I took this photo this morning and just caught the sun as it lit Chagford like a spotlight, the mists were rising in the forsest above from Fernworthy reservoir and the Fallow deer near where I was standing were sending out their loud barks as the rut has just begun.

New Shop Sign

I have just had this new sign made to go outside my gallery, I get so fed up with people just thinking I am the shop assistant and asking me if I paint! I hope this my help. I do find it really hard as my studio is upstairs in the gallery; to be precise, it is up 15 steep stairs across a room and down another 5 stairs, so every time someone comes in I have to put down my brush and go down and sit at the desk which is sometimes incredibly frustrating when I am in the middle of something delicate. If only the light and space was more suitable downstairs I could paint there but it is not.
