'Devon Sky Magenta'  oil on deep-edge canvas, 30 x 48 inches/76 x 121 cm Custom canvas from TP Timber Stretchers , St Just. Painted by Yours Truly in St Ives. Carried across the border by 3 Lanes Art Transportation , St Ives. Produced in Cornwall for a home in Devon. Although this commission is based on an earlier abstract work (by request) it has 'evolved into its own painting' because I found myself thinking of a recent visit to Horton Gower, Wales and remembering looking across the open, empty beach and Bristol Channel to the North Coast of Devon. In situ at its new home. Click to enlarge.  Copyright Lesley Ninnes, St Ives, Cornwall.

Most of the square paintings are, or soon will be displayed at Art Space Gallery, St Ives   'Black Rocks Porthmeor' is exhibited at St Ives Society of Artists Mariners Gallery.
