Maud Lewis, Garden Lunch and Crinodendron

1  Today I have been introduced to the remarkably beautiful work of Maud Lewis by a blogger friend who enjoyed my post about Alfred Wallis, a Cornish Artist and Mariner. Click here to see that post.
Set against a background of her paintings and the Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, landscapes they depict, this ten minute documentary, A World without Shadows,  is a portrait of the life and work of Maud Lewis, one of Canada’s foremost primitive painters. Find ten minutes – you won’t regret it! Thanks H H.

2   It has been another glorious day today and we’ve had lunch in the garden.

Dove Cote, Letterbox and Alfred Wallis

1   I went to Trowan, near St Ives, for a wedding run-through today and saw a delightful dovecote.

2   At Folly Farm, on the way to Trowan, was a charming American-style mail box that made me smile.

3   We went to Tate St Ives after I had finished my meeting where we saw two Alfred Wallis pieces that I had never seen before. I love his work. Click here if you would like to find out more about this Cornish artist.
