'Surf & Energy' oil on primed board. SOLD
Looks like I've been really busy - there will be more posted on Picture from St Ives later too - only because nearly a month has passed since the last post.
September has whizzed past - has all hope of an Indian Summer too? Can't help remembering travelling up to Bristol during a heatwave on 1 October last year, en route to beautiful Mallorca. Have a good weekend everyone - in spite of the weather!!

Thanks Julie - how are you? Will pop along for a visit soon. Lesley x
DeleteAs you know, I love your work. It makes me want to be in St Ives. I think we can wave goodbye to any Indian Summer!! xxx
ReplyDeleteDiane, I sunbathed in the back garden today!! Sheltered from the fresh Northerly wind - the clear, blue skies were very welcome. Also watched the 'almost full' moon rising around 7-7.30 before the sky turned dark, beautiful.
DeleteThanks for visiting. Lesley x
it does look as though you've been very busy and all of these are fabulous~!
ReplyDeleteas i went down through the post i kept exclaiming that each was my favorite . . . all the way to the last one. and then . . . IT was my favorite~!!~

ReplyDeleteThanks Carolyn - hope to see you soon as well! x
DeleteLove the "Breakers and white horses" - but they are all great! You paint seas so well, I can hear them and feel the spray on my face! Wish I could get down to see your seas (and the real sea)!
ReplyDeleteI wish you could too Gilly - thanks for the lovely comment and have a good weekend. Lesley x
DeleteWe have been walking on a lovely long sandy beach today . It reminded me of your paintings. You capture the sea so well. Beautiful day today but cold wind and I came home with a bag of shells.
ReplyDeleteLovely to find you had visited. Millyx
Had been meaning to visit and view your lovely blog for ages Milly! Will look forward to seeing what you do with the shells. Have a good weekend and thanks for visiting. Lesley x
DeleteThanks for stopping by!! I thought everyone stopped blogging but I think they just stopped commenting!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work as always...I like Late Afternoon Surf!! How is the exhibition going?
Thanks Tricia - town is quieter now as the season changes, but there are always those visitors who seek out St Ives when the weather is wilder and a more elemental.
DeleteAlways like to keep up with your very original artwork. Hope your dog starts to get better soon. Have a good weekend. Lesley x
Wow - such gorgeous colors and texture! You are a very talented and inspiring artist!
