Following on from my earlier posts on Priest Cove at Cape Cornwall and the bathing pool cut into in the rocks, these are a few pieces of mixed media on paper I created recently, but this time thinking about the underwater space of the pool.

I’d spent several hours on my arts residency at Brisons Veor back in spring this year, perched on the manmade edge of this semi-natural pool peering into what was really a large rock pool. A beguiling sea garden of seaweeds, anemones, small fish and pebbles, under a calm rippled glinting surface (at least when the tide was out). The variety of life in this underwater landscape was captivating; the colours, shapes and textures so inspiring for an abstract artist!
