School’s out and we are heading to beautiful Cornwall. We will be staying in Newlyn, near Penzance, the home of the famous Newlyn School of Painters (1800s to early 1900s). Back then, artists couldn’t resist the spectacular light, available models and cheap accommodation. Not much has changed. The light is still unique, folks on the beach still make great models and AirBnB is fantastically affordable!

Painting of the week is a view I painted last time we were in Cornwall. Back in the studio, I felt that the subject needed a wider format, so I worked from the on-site study (below).
