I had the pleasure of reading Lawrence Durrell's "Prospero's Cell".<br />Not only did it describe the area where I was staying, it did something that has often intrigued me.<br />It evoked the experience from memory, not from the present.<br /><br />Durrell fleeing the start of the WWII escaped to Alexandria in Egypt, and not knowing whether or not he would ever return to his greek island home, he set about recounting as many memories and accounts of island life as he could before the memories started to fade with time.<br /><br />The result, is a an emotionally charged ,vivid portrayal of a way of life and an environment that was about to change forever. <br /><br />To link this to my visit and the work that I would create, made me think of some connections. Through Durrell's words, I pictured how life must have been there, whilst I actually looked with my own eyes on the views and scenes that he described.<br /><br />The sparkling sunlight as the currents moved in the early morning sea breezes. The squid boats fishing by their huge lamps after a full moon.<br /><br />These were so passionately described, I felt like I was actually present in that time.<br /><br />A strange loop of emotions distant and present connecting through memories and words.<br /><br />My work came from observing, photographing, discussing sights through conversations and with sketches in my pocket sketchbook.<br /><br />Upon returning home I used the sketches, and memories to paint two small gouache paintings, and what I found was a week or two later as I painted these, some elements from my experience seemed really strong and forefront in my mind.<br /><br />Is this possibly how Durrell felt as he wrote down his Greek recollections?<br /><br />Maybe that's why some paintings and some artwork keep that feeling alive for us , so long after the visit, trip or holiday is over?<br /><br />Maybe our nostalgia for the experience stays alive and even strengthens the more we enjoy looking at those paintings as the real life event fades into our past?<br /><br />Just a thought. Does nostalgia or a period of time enhance your memories or special moments?<br /> </p></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="mcnImageBlock" style="border-collapse: collapse;

Washed down with homemade cloudy lemonade and a clotted cream ice cream for dessert.<br />It sounded perfect!<br /><br />In fact it made me so hungry, that I decided to break for a spot of lunch. Only to find in my determination to pack appropriate clothing, sun cream and water, I had left my packed lunch on the kitchen counter, all I had was an apple. <br /><br />When the heat started to get a bit too much I finished off with a quick sea swim to cool down and headed back to the studio to finish off.<br /><br />That never happened, by the time I got back to my studio, it was a furnace in there, so the painting had to wait for the cooler evening to get it's few finishing details.<br /><br /><br /> _______________________________________</p><p style="line-height: 24px;

I always remember an old lady telling me years ago that the shells all washed up from the Caribbean on the Gulf Stream, and that you can use the letters of Barricane to spell it ( except that Caribbean has two "B's") but who am I to get in the way of a good story.<br />She was very convincing!<br /><br />Curries and cowrie shells aside, it's a magical little cove that offers something special at any time of the year, and this latest collection of eight paintings illustrate exactly that.<br /><br />From baking hot summer evenings to a chilly New Year's Day, and gloriously warm milky Spring mornings.<br /><br /><br />Click on this link and you can view all eight paintings. <a href="https://stevepp.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d96373dc99c344831f15c0a65&id=d35628cc1b&e=0be77008e4" style="color: #007c89;" target="_blank">View the "Barricane Collection".</a><br /><br />I hope some of the many different moments that I enjoy about Barricane Beach connect with you in this collection, I would love to hear from you about which ones you liked or brought back memories from special trips there in the past, or even the anticipation of trips to come.<br /><br />Drop me a reply to this post with your favourites.

Monday morning opened up the week with a storm knocking on the door, heavy rain and strong winds, are raining ripe apples down upon my wooden studio roof.<br />
After a nondescript month of weather in August, the beginning of September has been a joy.<br />
Not only for the slower pace of life here, but it came with some warm days, good waves and stunning sunsets, providing some fantastic subjects to get my brushes moving.<br />
<br />
Here is a selection of some of the paintings from the past few weeks.<br />
I hope you enjoy them<br />
<br />
Have a great day!<br />

It is with much joy that I happily inform you that the painted ladies of Woolacombe are back on the beach. That can only mean that the May Bank Holiday and Summer are not far away!<br />

Sometimes approaching the coast from the inland coastal path gets you these stunning views across gardens built right overlooking the beaches and cliffs.<br />
I love looking for these, the colours that come into play when the bright blooms meet the blues and the greens of the sea , can be breathtakingly beautiful!<br />

Sometimes that Spring urge gets you all suited and booted and waxed up, only to get to the beach and find out it's still freezing in a fresh onshore wind and the surf is junk.</div>

This guy was keen as mustard today, I think that he stood there checking longer than he actually surfed for. Don't worry my friends, warmer weather is just around the corner.</div>

It's starting to get lighter and brighter every day and the creative wellspring is rising. I'm itching to get outdoors and paint again.<br />
It feels like I'm ready to burst with ideas and places to paint this year. Winter has a habit of doing that to a creative soul, which is one of the positives of being cabin bound for a good few months.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For me it can be simply walking or driving out and about with open eyes just taking in scenes and almost daydreaming at them until something takes my fancy.<br />

After that I like to paint a brush sketch for my colour notes, without using any drawing, to get that lovely, loose feel that often eludes a finished piece.<br />
Then I take these back to the studio and work on the composition, with as light a drawing as possible and some design tweaks. Then I apply a few light washes to get the light colours and tones down, making sure to leave my "saved" whites of just the paper, before applying more layers and finally my juicy darks to bring it all to life.<br />

Today is one of those days. Sunny, clean surf rolling into our Atlantic shores and it's warm, well warm for the end of November that is!<br />
This one is fresh off the easel, I love painting glassy sparkly days. Now to get the board out of the garage and slide a few myself. Have a great day!<br />

A surf in the sun before lunch, what a great way to work up an appetite. I caught this guy striding back across the beach with a purpose on this hot day<br />
on Woolacombe Beach. Framed 12 x 9 inches <a href="http://www.stevepp.co.uk/project/quick-surf-before-lunch/" target="_blank">available here.</a><br />
