What a treat to have two weeks painting in Cornwall and The Cotswolds. Beautiful little villages, quaint stone buildings, historic old fishing ports and, amazingly, fantastic weather!

Mevagissey Harbour
This beautiful old fishing boat was to be our painting subject, but the thought of being scrutinised by 20 painters was too much. She sailed off just as we were about to start!

Looks like you had an enjoyable time in our area (the Cotswolds) and some reasonable weather.
It looks absolutely wonderful….wish I could afford to join one of your groups! I really admire your work.
Hi,
I enjoy reading your posts. Would you mind if I used a couple of the photos in the email as subjects for my paintings?
Best,

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your comments.
As you can appreciate, there is a lot of cost and effort goes into collecting photographs for my work. I do this because I not only want to experience these places, but also have my own personal records for reference – hence the copyright on all images.
So, I’m sorry, but I cant let you use the images.
If you want images without copyright restrictions, have a look at wiki commons
Your gorgeous photos show that your eye for light and composition aren’t limited to watercolors. Stunning post!
What a gorgeous
place.
I love that part of England, especially Cornwall. Everything there is saturated with history and King Arthur stories .
Your photos are fantastic, and inspiring . Thanks a lot
