A Visit To My Favourite Garden...

On our holiday to Cornwall, we visited one of my favourite places, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Garden in St.Ives.


It is such a beautiful space, perfect for sketching and relaxing.
Even when it's crowded, it's still a calm and tranquil oasis of calm.





Everything has been left exactly how it was, I love peeking in the studio window...




This is the actual room that Hepworth died in, due to a tragic fire.
It felt a little bit eerie sitting here while I was sketching.


You can still see the smoke damage on the vase above the mantlepiece.



(Here's a fine example of my daughter helping me with my photography!)





This is the luckiest cat in the whole of Cornwall!


Here's one of my sketches...

Would you like to make a comment chuck?
I'd love to hear your thoughts, just a minute and I'll put the kettle on.
Custard cream or bourbon?
