Oh my, is it really a year ago that we went to Penzance. Little did we realise at the time that things would change so much. The thought of going away for a short break seems a distant dream now and we really have no idea when those days will return. They will, of course, but a lot is in the not knowing don't you think.
I had a very nice reminder of that trip to Penzance on my facebook newsfeed. Seeing the photos took me back there on a trip down memory lane...it was worth the visit. We had a lovely time plus I got to do some plein air painting. As you will see from the image below, the sun was out, but Oh was it COLD, hence I'm wrapped up (and I was still freezing)....
I completed the painting indoors at our accommodation, that didn't matter, having spent time plein air I kept that with me, memory stayed in place as it were, and I was able to continue with the painting as though I was actually still there. (Can you see the Diva in the photo above?...No, not me!!!).
and it 'Sold' as soon as I put it online. That was a boost, as someone else can enjoy this scene and for me, even looking at the completed painting, I can remember every brush stroke - and no I didn't put the 'Diva' into the painting!
