'Mixed May' is as good a way of describing this month so far, as the weather changes radically from day to day - sometimes hour by hour.  May is such a lovely month though, trees and flowers are bursting into life, a profusion of fresh colours and new greens - especially when the sun shines! All of the framed square paintings shown below can be found at Art Space Gallery, St Ives with the exception of 'The Beach in May' which will arrive in the next few days.   The rectangular paintings are awaiting a trip to the framers, to be mounted prior to delivery to the browsers at St Ives Society of Artists Mariners Gallery.
