a busy start to the month ...
being back at Tag Tuesday and Love Stitching Red
I'm pleased that I've got into a nice rhythm posting in both places
sharing art tags and my erosion and wrecking projects
mid week ... Tuesdays and Wednesdays
yesterday Jo and I went over to Morvah Schoolhouse
it was an eerily foggy day driving on the coast road
between St. Ives and St. Just ...
the landscape ... a wintry russet brown
with a hint of seascape
and I was very pleased to find "Landscapes and Heads" open
an exciting and varied show of mixed media work
from the group "Unit 11" led by Sue Dove
this was my favourite installation
I found each individual piece full of interesting textures ...
beautiful painterly textures and marks
very inspiring indeed ...
and my other favourite was this art figure installation ...
with her beautiful rosy scarf
and interesting facial details
after the show Jo and I had lunch at Kegen Teg in St. Just
and did our annual book swap and pressies
I gave Jo ... Ruth Issett's Passion for Colour
and she gave me Lesley Riley's Fabulous Fabric Art with Lutradur
then I was bamboozled by this and made some purchases ...
it was so full of fabulousness and beauty that another visit is in order ...
watch this space ...
the weather did not improve for our journey home
it was atmospheric and very Cornish ... in a wuthering sort of way
I adore it over on that coast road
I love the contrast of the landscape compared to St. Ives and Mousehole
my favourite time to visit is spring when the landscape is yellow
but I don't know if I can wait that long ...

What beautiful colours in that first photo Carolyn! And those hangings are fantastic. I'm glad you had a wonderful day :-D xx
I'm glad you got to Morvah before the exhibition ended. Thank you for all the lovely photos of the work. The figure is fascinating and I love the poppy seedhead sketch for the eye. You certainly had a different day for the journey but it looks wonderfully mysterious. I'm glad you're enjoying your creative time now :-)
The show looks wonderful - so glad you were able to visit and could share some of it with us. Lovely fog photos too!
I enjoyed your photos.
Thanks for sharing all the SRT...I am so INSPIRED!!!
I can understand why you enjoyed the exhibition so much - it looks very exciting.
Looks like a fabulous day out! and I especially love the moody, wintry weather - my favorite kind of day :) Thanks for sharing.
What a beautiful misty capture of the landscape that first photo is.
Love Sue Dove's work. Fabulous installation. The head was so cool. Thanks for sharing. xox
Thanks for sharing these wonderful works with us. Cornwall looks lovely even in the mist.
So lovely, really enjoy those misty pics - and Sue Dove's work at Morvah. Lesley x
