Managed to Find My Way Back in to this Blog...

Lots of things have happened since last I visited this place.

Been in a play called "Cannibalism Begins at Home"  by Stephen Santer which was great fun and brought the house down on the evening we performed it at the Acorn Theatre in Penzance.  Hoping to perform it again soon in some little villages round Penwith. :)

Been swimming in the Cornish Seas with all this glorious weather and painting on small canvasses.

Now I have an Exhibition in St Ives!!  I haven't really done a lot of painting this year, got a couple of small canvasses.  I will add the new paintings here soon.

The Exhibition is on now from 1st August to 31st August 2013 at St Ives Library Community Room - hope you can come and see me hung!

I shall revisit this place before too long with a few more photies and comments on the Exhibition, bye for now

Finally got back onto this Blog....

Unbelievably it is now 13 years later!  I can only say that my life has utterly changed since I last wrote anything in this Blog.  Mainly sad things like losing my dear Mum and Dad, my soul mate Barry, lovely friends Ronnie and Danny and quite a few more.  Life has been quite sad and very lonely at times and I now want to get back to creating a little happiness for a change.  I thought I would never see this old Blog again but  am going to try and add more paintings and cards to it. I am going to try and paint again. I've joined a couple of art groups SASA and Tamsin Dearing near St Austell as I live in Carlyon Bay now and needed to meet some similar souls.

Here's to a new beginning!  Cheers!  Purdy my beautiful cat is still here with me I am very happy to say.

I'll start adding pictures and paintings again soon.

Branches of Blossom

Acrylic on Canvas 12" x 16" x 2"

I couldn't sleep so got up early whilst staying at Mum and Dad's and went out into the garden, looking up through a tree,  a storm was brewing, it was very warm and the sky was a beautiful meringue pink with tiny clouds of gold, mauve and grey. 

A Rock Pool

I painted this  with water colour crayon on Acrylic Paper and made it my mum's birthday card.  I went to a Laura Knight exhibition in Penlee House, Penlee Park and copied this from a photo on one of the leaflets.  Bit of plegarism there..I'm sure Laura won't mind :) 



Well, I have been a busy bee

Even though I say it myself.  I have done very well! Completed five paintings in four days more or less.  I know this one is very similar to my previous Morlaix yachts, but that little painting went to Chekoslovakia months ago, so I've painted it afresh.  

Going back to my favourite Blossom scene.  People call me Blossom these days.  I thought I would incorporate a yacht with my blossoms this time.

White Yacht Viewed through Summer Blossom

Then....I added another little white yacht to my collection,

I like this little one very much,

White Yacht Viewed through Hawthorn with Blackbird....

Actually, this is the same painting that I did last week, only I've extended the coastline and improved the water.

So, you see, it is my set of three.

Finally, this was the first Acrylic painting I ever did, but it wasn't very great, so I changed it today to the view of a Cornish Cove from the cliff top.  Barry and I went to Lamorna yesterday and walked over the cliffs.  There was a glut of foxgloves.  Absolutely stunning.  Anyway, it inspired me to do this........it looks better in real life than in this photo.



I'm going to hang some paintings in Fowey library this week and these ones will be included. :) 

Bye for now.



Can't believe June's here already, slow down....

EXHIBITION OF PAINTINGS BY JEAN COWSILL

AT FOWEY LIBRARY JUNE 2012 UNTIL END JULY 2012

Not bad ay? :)  Just call me the Librarian.

Fowey is my fourth library, I've exhibited at Penzance, St Agnes, Camborne (still on) and now Fowey.  In September I will exhibit at St Austell Library for a month or so and then next year, 2013, I will exhibit at St Ives Library!  good one.

YACHTS AT MOUNTS BAY

As I have five days off now, I have begun to do a set of boats, a set of trees and a set of blossoms to take over to Fowey Libary and hopefully there will be some interest from passing holiday makers.  This painting is quite cute I think, possibly attractive to holiday makers.  I like it anyway. It's 10" x 12" Acrylic on Canvas, painted it last weekend.

Easter Cards 2012

I was reasonably creative at Easter and created these cards. Acrylic on Canvas.  The main picture is the front of the card and the smaller one is on the back.
