Sennen cove and new website

Evening light at Sennen Cove 8" x 10"
SOLD
This is another one painted on my July trip to Cornwall, and already sold at the Scarlet hotel thanks to Mark at the Harbour Gallery :-)

Sennen cove is magical in the evening light, I definitely need more visits there. It is of course a place where Ken Howard has painted a lot over the years.

I found out some great news yesterday. All six of the paintings I've entered for the Royal Society of Marine Artists exhibition this year have been pre-selected. This means they've passed the first round of selection and now have to make their way down to the Mall galleries in London for the final selection round. Now don't get too excited just yet, because last year I had four make it through pre-selection but none of them actually made it to the walls!
Still, I think you should celebrate all little successes and I'm glad my entry has got thus far. I shall keep you informed...

And here's something worth celebrating! I've got a new website! Ok it's not brand new but it's as good as new after having spent a great many hours giving it a revamp! There's not a page on there that has been spared the overhaul, and lots of new pages too, so please go along and have a good old rummage through :-)

There'll be an online store to follow so I'll let you know when that all happens, and my blog has also had a freshen up so if you receive this by email you might like to go and take a look at blog base camp too, at www.haideejo.blogspot.com

  1. Wow, Haidee, what a painting, it's beautiful. You've really captured the light, Ken would be proud of you! And a very bold new blog. I did love the painting you used at the top of your old blog, though, it was gorgeous. But I know how you feel about time for a change. Here's to the new one! Now off to visit your new website.

    1. Thanks Bobbi. I had never worked out before how to change the design or wallpaper of my blog and I've finally sorted it out! So it's nice to have something completely original and also I've managed to match up the theme with my website too so... I'm pleased for now!

  4. Hi Haidee- Jo,
    I bought Evening Light at Sennen Cove!! It's for my husband for our 25th Wedding Anniversary later this month - I loved the silvery light and so it's ideal for our silver celebrations. I see you live in France - you may be interested to know that I'll be presenting the gift whilst on holiday in Southern Brittany.

    1. Well that's excellent news! Thank you so much - another excuse for me to go to Cornwall to paint some more - hooray! I am on the île de Bréhat for August, which is the north Brittany coastline. I hope you have a fantastic holiday and many congratulation! A silver wedding anniversary is great cause for celebration :-)
