One more from my trip down to Cornwall. St Ives is a maze of beautiful narrow cobbled streets just perfect for wandering around with an ice cream or flat white. I loved the lamp in this one and a slice of the beach from a quiet spot up the hill. #cornwall #cornwallart #inkandwatercolour #stives

Sitting by the seaside, listening to the waves lapping beneath my feet. Listening to the seagulls screech, the boats creak and tinkle on the rocking waves. People pass by talking about their dogs and relationships, the smell of salt and vinegar is in the air. #cornwall #cornwallart #seasidesketcher
