Two paintings from Porthtowan.

Heavy rain put a stop to the first painting. Returning another day, I decided to start a new painting. In my mind these two pictures represent my cancer journey.

Katy. Oil on canvas painting. I am so very grateful for the care of Katy and the rest of the chemotherapy team at Ashford’s William Harvey Hospital. Still here, thirty months after a six to twelve months probable live expectancy prognosis. Thank you each and every one of you. #cancerthriver

Wheatfield in Auvers-sur-Oise (facing towards Valmondois). Oil on canvas Painting. Vincent van Gogh’s view for his painting “Wheatfield with crows” was about 120 degrees to my left. I am sure he painted a picture facing in this direction too but it’s just less popular than “Wheatfield with crows”
