"Big White Flowers" is so fresh and bold. It feels free and full of sunshiny happiness to me.

Just like today ... we have another really beautiful and warm sunny day with clear skies. What ever happened to winter on the coast of Brittany this year I just don't know. I'm sitting here with a cool top on and a thin cardigan, with only one pair of socks to keep my toes warm. Crazy to be so toasty, without a heater on, in what is usually deepest coldest winter.

This painting is immediately downloadable as an image for you to print and you can find it here ... https://www.etsy.com/listing/684216819/big-white-flowers-instant-digital-image?ref=shop_home_active_1


I've also uploaded some room settings for you to see what it'll look like.

"Going Crab Fishing" by Lynda Cookson

"Going Crab fishing" was inspired by a lovely, large, gent who wandered past us as we were parked overlooking a small bay within Douarnenez Bay on the west coast of Brittany in France. His character, walk and equipment were so much larger than life that all surroundings seemed to fall away.

"Killary Fjord with Rhodedendrons" by Lynda Cookson

This is from a mini series I did in Ireland. This one is from Leenane in Connemara where Killary Fjord is the only fjord in Ireland.

I'm thinking of doing more minis (4" x 4") soon ... perhaps of harbour scenes here in Brittany. Perhaps putting this up here will get me going!! LOL

"Looking Out to Sea" by Lynda Cookson

This little painting is on show at Gallery 1608 in Bushmills, Northern Ireland.

We live 300 metres from a secluded bay on one of the peninsulas of Brittany's west-as-west-can-go coastline in France. On a balmy summer's day, during a walk at "our" bay, the inspiration for "Looking Out to Sea" was born. How I wish I was as slim and young as this young slip of a girl!! LOL

Hello from Manchester, England... and memories of Crozon-Morgat, Brittany, France



Hi, I'm Sarah Morley, a knife painter based in Stockport, Cheshire, England. This is my first ever post on this blog as I have only just joined the Palette Knife Painters blog and website. Looking forward to making contact with fellow bloggers and others who are as into knife painting as I am!

This week I've just got back from Crozon- Morgat in Brittany - where we go 'en vacance' every year. Have come back full of ideas for seascapes and other stuff  and itching to get painting- it is really beautiful over there! I actually did this painting just before I went away - inspired by memories and photos from last year - the surf is always brilliant out there - with the Atlantic hitting the rocks in really spectacular fashion  - and it was just like this last week!

Hope you like my first offering. It is oil on canvas painted exclusively with a couple of knives. Size is 14" x 12". Available to buy from me for $425 ono plus shipping. I can be contacted through my
website.
