thick as a bag

Hereabouts they describe fog as 'thick as a bag' and that is what we encountered  on the cliffs at Morvah when we took our painting stuff out at the weekend. So the painting's a bit impressionist - fine by me. It was still nice; quiet and still - the sea way below just shushing onto the rocks and a baby skylark in the bracken behind me frantically calling for his Mum and food.
       Humbling reminder that nature is the better gardener and has the best hard landscaping! A lesson to observe how plants interact and always look harmonious together in the wild...Look, look  watch, learn....



 Off to try again today - the sun looks as if it may shine awhile - I badly need some sparkly sea and some blue.

  2. Only in Cornwall! Some of the local sayings are very descriptive. Sorry probably not - the paintings are only info really - gleaning palettes for other projects which WILL PROGRESS! (asserts positive statement). Sy, thanks- I found your book and am planning to order soon.
