We were walking past Porthmeor beach when we saw a man on the beach with two large canvases working in the morning sunlight with the tide far out. I went down to talk to him, and he explained that the canvases he had already painted in his studio, and he brought them out to get "something" from the landscape,he said so many things which I agreed with, about how the first painting gave him something to struggle against, and how he was avoiding "picture making", his bold and expressive work was showing all that week at the Crypt in town. His name was Paul Wadsworth, and he inspired me to try and be more free with these studies of the cliffs, and I really like their mood, and energy, so thanks Paul...
