I painted this luxuriant floral jungle at Longstone in watercolour with pastel and the original painting was 27 ¾ inches tall x 9 ¾ inches wide.
It was painted in late Spring 2007 on the balcony of Longstone Cafe on St Marys. Here, my friends and proprietors, Sonia and Mick, kept me supplied with coffee while painting ... it's a hard life! There is a great view to the south towards Porth Hellick and you can just see the Loaded Camel Rock in the distance. The Longstone Centre used to be a butterfly farm and Exhibition and the buddleia was planted then. Sadly, summer 2007 was wet and not a good year for butterflies.
Full size print image 27 ¼ tall x 9 ¾ inches wide.
