Whilst I was sitting on the beach in St Ives, I remembered a painting done by a blogger, and thought about how he had captured the "blue" of St Ives very well. On my return home, I decided to treat myself to this picture and I was thrilled when I got home from work today to find that it had arrived - and I only posted my cheque off this morning!!! Its gorgeous and will be taking pride of place in my workroom (once I have sold the young mans bed - which he has grown too tall for!!!).
So thank you very much Mr D - who incidently only lives about 5 miles away from me! You made my day by transporting me back to the harbour. Take a look at his project where he aims to paint one picture per week. My painting is number 17.

I was quite tempted by that, Diane - but I'm glad you've got it, knowing your big love for that area! Abby
The painting is wonderful and takes me right back to St Ives! x
Oh that is so pretty. The colours are amazing.
Btw, yes I DID go to Sheffield Uni. Loved it. Early 80s. Excellent music scene, brilliant clubs & pubs, cheap bus fares, wonderful people.
I can see why you got the painting, it is lovely!

A gorgeous painting :)
Very pretty! Cx
What a nice present to yourself and with such a good pedigree too. Maybe I should have bought it to remind myself that I must get to Cornwall (sometime soon - you can tick that one off your bingo card).
A lovely reminder of St Ives Diane. At long last I have posted about our meeting. Looking forward to seeing you again in the future. Thanks again for such beautiful gifts. Lesley x
