West Pentire

Pentire Headland

Last Saturday the weather was glorious in Cornwall, so off we set with freshly made pasties looking for a stunning location to eat them, and we found West Pentire.

We headed off towards Cubert, branched off towards Crantock and drove up towards West Pentire. With our National Trust membership we were able to park for free and it had the most amazing view across to Pentire Headland.

Once my scummy home-made pasty was eaten out came the paints!

A lovely spot, and with the Bowgie offering tables outside that will be a nice spot to sit and have a drink or lunch.

We love the spot so much I have visited again and of course did another sketch! It was low tide again, so does look quite similar to my first sketch.

Painting at Lamorna Cove

Jane painting at Lamorna Cove


We have had some glorious sunny days here in Cornwall, so last week I headed down to do some painting at Lamorna Cove.

I haven’t been down to Lamorna Cove for a few years so I was quite surprised to see the destruction of the little harbour wall, obviously caused by the storms last winter. This became the inspiration for my painting.

I climbed up over the rocks to look back at the broken harbour wall and the two cottages. It was not an easy spot to paint, but I did manage it. You can’t miss me I was wearing my bright pink Fleece!

Lamorna Cove is not easy to reach, although on the map it looks close to Mousehole, but you have to navigate windy roads.
