My latest blog post features sketches from the Lizard area, as well as Godrevy. Actually there is one from Praa Sands, which isn’t really the Lizard area – but it is West Cornwall. These have been from my travels during September and October 2025. Click on any of the pictures to see the larger version.
The Lizard
I visited The Lizard itself in early October. The weather forecast wasn’t great but it turned out to be a lot better than forecast. In fact the sun came out for a short while. I was out with my friends and we walked from The Lizard village down to the headland. We stopped at Polpeor cafe and looked across to Polpeor Cove. The Cafe is now in new hands but it was very nice, although the menu is not as extensive as it was previously.
Godrevy
Godrevy is always one of my favourite spots. I did a little sketch from the top field car park. It was looking very long distance so you can see Gwithian. I took a bit of artist license and decided not to include all the cars! That is the difference between a painting and a photograph. I can decide what to include or not. Although I do know that you can alter images in packages such as Photoshop. Or even worse, use AI!
Praa Sands
Again we hit it lucky with the weather. In fact for a little while it was glorious. Although whilst sat at the Stones Reef Bar we did need to run inside because of a short rain shower. The Stones Reef Bar is definitely one of my favourite spots.
Poldhu
It was absolutely glorious when we visited Poldhu. I was interested that The National Trust has taken over the car park. Being a National Trust member, this was very handy. It was low tide so we had a great walk on the beach. Then afterwards enjoyed a lovely cup of coffee at The Poldhu Cafe. What a great view. This time I tried to capture the whole beach.
I may well turn some of these paintings into cards and gift tags. Take a look at my Watercolour Painting Greeting Cards to see what is currently for sale. Don’t forget to click on any of the pictures to see the larger version.
