9 – 16 January 2016
I was very pleased with the results of my stay. Having lost my husband last April, I had not painted for a year. I needed to process my thoughts and get excited about something again. The silence within Brisons Veor, amplified by the sea, is conducive to thought. I love to be alone there but do not feel lonely.

I have during past visits, visited the sites of standing stones. Reading the notes in the red folder I was prompted to visit the Pendeen Fogou. Amanda Pickering then told me about Carn Euny and the magnificent fogou there, so I visited that also. I was fascinated by the stone work of these sites and it subconsciously provided me with imagery for my work. I was able to start painting.
