I thought I’d share Cloud Shadow by with you today. Painted at Cape Cornwall, St Just, it looks out over a dark sea to clouds scudding past The Brisons (in Cornish: Enys Vordardh, meaning breaker island)

I was inspired by the Mên-an-Tol stones in Cornwall, trying something a bit new and surreal. All done in !
