Weekly photo challenge : My favourite place
My favourite place to be is by the sea- no surprises there but more specifically along the northerly Cornish coastline at Gwithian Towans where Godrevy Lighthouse looks out across to the open sea in one direction and St Ives Bay inland. The crumbly coastline is being slowly eroded away  by stormy seas and every visit …

I’d rather be ……..by the sea
 A would be adventurer who has every excuse imaginable as to why she stays where she is! But in my dreams- it's no secret -<a href="http://I’d Rather Be…"> I really would rather be here. The West Country has it all- except the one thing that's the most important to me- my family. I have …
tide and time – work in progress
A recent visit to Cornwall has injected new quiet energy into my project. The snow and powerful tides limited access to the outdoors and my visit was brief. Primarily a two day workshop with a day either side to explore the coastline. The workshop further explored chance operation and abstraction, which factor quite strongly in …
Worn by tide and time……
My current project is an investigation into hag stones and beach pebbles generally, how they form, what creates their weathered appearance and how time and tides have worn them down and round and created their fascinating labyrinths, and unique surfaces. These are a few of the initial images- where I go from here is anyone's guess....... …
Silence
Daily photo challenge: Silence that early morning walk along the beach........
Gazing through the window……..
As I sat gazing through the window, on the morning of my birthday, in wonderment of the sun rising in front of me on the horizon watching the waves powering onto the shingle beach, I briefly mused on the idea of time passing (another year older) and my horizon moving with me wherever I go never …
Happy New Year!
A new year with renewed expectations. As a visual artist I will limit my words to just wishing you all a wonderful new year that I hope  fulfils all of your hopes and aspirations. My word for the year : kindness.
December – It’s snowing on WordPress!
Just returned from an amazing 10 days in Cornwall. My brain is bombarded with imagery of landscape and art. The Chance into Abstraction 3 day workshop was so inspiring.

The best place on Earth
They say home is where the heart is and I love to be near my family, there is however a place where my heart lingers every time I visit. The Cornish coast line is stunning and the landscape compelling. One day maybe when my ashes return to the Earth https://wheresmybackpack.com/2017/04/21/travel-theme-earth/
Opaque ? peeling away the layers in the landscape.
As an artist inspired by the landscape I am especially interested in capturing images that are often overlooked because they are hidden by a veil of overwhelming information that is beyond the vision and comprehension of the human eye. The landscape is overwhelming for me and my way of honing in on the detail is …

Surprise : weekly photo challenge
.........so spring isn't really a surprise, it's a yearly event, even so why do I feel that flutter of excitement when the first lime buds break through the seemingly dormant dried twigs of every hedgerow. When the first glimmer of lush shoots push through the dead leaves?Surprise
In love with the land scape
Security- photo challenge
I love the sea and to watch the tide ebb and flow, see the waves crashing against the rocks, watch as the storm approaches churning the waves, contemplate the tranquil ripples of a calm swell. I do however have a hidden fear of the waves reaching beyond the safety of the ancient cliffs and man …
