The Gallery for our visit to Cubert is now available. Unfortunately we did not have enough people to be able to go to Portreath. Even so we had a good days painting at The Well Cafe in Cubert.
This month Paint Away Days will visit Trewithen Gardens near Probus. This garden has a collection of camellias, rhododendrons, magnolias and rare trees, and woodland walks. (The house does not open till April.) Plant collectors in the early 20th Century brought back seeds, many were successfully cultivated and can now be seen within the garden.
Trewithen means "house of the trees" very apt with 30 acres of woodland gardens and more than 200 acres of surrounding parkland.
As we are now approaching the better weather with Spring around the corner I hope we will be able to get into the gardens and paint. At this time of year there could a good display of early flowering camellias. There are a number of other views that could be painted without having to go into the gardens, such as the lake, the front of the house, and the surrounding countryside.
Our painting day in April will be at Godrevy, which is about 3 miles north east of Hayle, the lighthouse there is a well known landmark. We shall be based at the cafe with easy access to the beach, dunes and the lighthouse.
This is not an area I know very well, but when I visited a few weeks ago there were plenty of views to inspire me.
Costs for each Paint Away Day are detailed for each venue on the information for the location page. See General Information for guidance to costs.
