TWO DAYS AT TREEN

So there appeared to be a window of opportunity for a visit to deepest Cornwall. The weather was spectacular and it was before the summer madness. I camped at Treen Campsite and what a friendly place that was. I visited Pedn Vounder Beach, Porthcurno and drove to Sennen Cove, all were bathed in sunshine.
One reason for visiting was to see the Logan Rock and granite cliffs, this is a favourite of one of my influential artsts called Roger Dean of record album cover art. The Logan Rock appears on the album cover of Topographic Oceans by Yes!
Most of my time was spent swimming in the beautiful water and walking the Southwest Coast Path for inspiration for future paintings. I will be visiting again shortly! Al

FROM THE LOGAN ROCK

Quick half an hour to commit to another painting, acrylic wash on canvas panel 515 x 330mm. The next day I completed it after about an hour of finalising the composition. I visited Treen in Cornwall quite recently to paint and sketch the wonderful rock formations but sadly there was a heavy mist! I will revisit it when the weather is right and will not only sketch the Logan Rock but also Pedn Vounder and Porthcurno Beaches.
