In summer, it is great to paint outdoors "en plein air", in fine weather, without wind and without rain. But often it is more comfortable being in a studio with a photo. It is possible to take a quick photo from a difficult place. You could never be sitting there with your canvas. Joe Armstrong demonstrated to my art group how to do a lively painting of St Ives from a rather dull printed picture - houses, beach and three boats. Joe used oil colours with a palette knife (without a single brush). At first, shadows of the buildings, the beach and the sea are put on the canvas roughly. Then the details are added, bit by bit, checking the picture. The houses have walls and roofs and windows. The sea has little boats and reflections.

The world is full of signs, more signs than usual. I can see two signs at the same time – a road sign and an estate agent’s signboard. It’s true – a ruin is for sale – but is it buyable? Two miles from here there are more notices by the church. It’s a sad thing – there are no services in November. And there are more notices on the parish board. The Countryside Code: Respect other people; Protect the natural environment; Enjoy the outdoors. Deg ger rag hedhyw:  Ten words for t...
