So tardy, nothing's going to change there - yes it's true - a week has passed since Carolyn, Andrea and I got together. Plus, unlike the others, I didn't think to bring a camera, so have used a publicity photo of the restaurant we visited and harbour photos from my archive to give an idea of our day. They're not really necessary though because Carolyn has recorded everything already in this wonderful post. There was plenty of glorious sunshine - and also a very stiff Easterly breeze blowing.
Andrea, click here to visit her blog (users of Google Chrome will be able to translate the German to English) travelled from Switzerland the day before, making a long awaited return journey to St Ives and the three of us enjoyed lunch at Ocean Grill before going down onto the sand and heading for West Pier.
The tide was very low, so conditions were ideal for a spot of beachcombing, with Carolyn leading the way to one of her 'hunting grounds'.

These beach photos were taken in August, but the colours are very similar to those on that March day........
Lots of treasures were found and we spent a happy couple of hours 'pottering' before calling it a day. Andrea was fortunate to enjoy sunny weather during her entire stay. Carolyn and I ordered it, of course!
Keep checking Andrea's blog because she has taken many, many photos.
This recently completed painting is entitled 'Man's Head Rain Cloud' SOLD - Man's Head is the distinctive rock formation on the Western side of Porthmeor Beach and is rendered in oil on board. I'm currently working on two abstract paintings and some additional seascapes on board.
