It's always great to have first-hand observations of these things. It may have been sufficient that London could be reached without days and days of travel. Nice to have another artist's report on the quality of the light in the area, as I find the differences in light in differnt geographic areas fascinating. Speaking of fascinating, other readers should check out katherine Tyrell's blog, <em><a href="http://makingamark.blogspot.com/ " rel="nofollow">Making a Mark</a></em>, along with her cornucopia of other blogs, websites and art resources. These are long overdue as the subject of a <em>lines and colors</em> post. I've only been put off, I think, by the desire to get a handle on the entire range of her multitude of online offerings in addition to the range of her own work. Thanks, Katherine.

I ended up driving to and from London - even though it was a very long journey - because of the unreliability of the timings! I suspect the advantage then was that it would have been faster than the coach even with the vagaries of whether or not the winds are too high, the sea is too high etc which tend to affect the trains. That said, I did also pay a visit to the museum in Penzance and saw Stanhope Forbes's work which is very striking. I also enjoyed work by other members of the Newlyn group plus visited Newlyn and some of the other places associated with the Newlyn Group. Lamorna was especially memorable. I think that fact that they are very nearly surrounded by sea at that point makes the light absolutely fantastic. However the rain is horizontal in winter!
