15 July 14.16 pm. My large canvas was wider than the door but just fitted within the balcony width. I tied it on so it could not blow away. I started on the 14th with the sky and background in case it was hidden by mist later and pepped up the colours as the scene was so grey.

17th July at 17.29 A sea mist had been coming and going all day hiding Sennen and Lands End so I was working on the foreground.

15 July at 21 .20 More work on the sea and cliffs but no foreground rocks yet.

18th July at 15.18 Although sunny it was now so windy that the canvas was bouncing around so much I had to bring it inside

18th July 15.18 worked on the sea and rocks more. Brief glimpses of that amazing turquoise sea colour.

Priests Cove to Lands End. Carolyn Lamb. Artisan Oil on 50x 100 cm canvas. The finished oil painting on 18th July at 20.30 after more work to the sky, clouds, sea and rocks. To the left Carn Gloose, in the distance Sennen and Lands End and far right the Longships with lighthouse.
I can claim my Brisons Veor project was a success as I  did achieve one big 50 x 100 cm painting, but I still have another canvas the same size and my giant roll of paper was untouched. It was great to have the studio space to spread out and time to work on a larger piece over several days . But so many interesting painting subjects had to be left for another time.
The last day was just pack up and leave by 11, but  then I enjoyed the freedom of a wild dash plein air painting, battered by wind in the afternoon at Porthmoina.    I saw a pod of dolphins swim past and there was a brief period of that amazing turquoise Cornish sea before it clouded over.
