Penwith Gallery, Waterside St Ives & The Poly in August

 
After taking down the artworks from Evocation on Sunday I dropped in with a couple of paintings to Waterside gallery on a very sunny Monday in St. Ives. Viewing the Penwith Affordable show and then the Poly show in Falmouth...all for £10 Ride Cornwall day tickets. Cheaper than going by car apparently - although you miss out on delays by cattle on the line and excludes the cost of an egg & bacon bap, cups of tea, fish n' chips & Plymouth owned bus services that do not adhere to Ride Cornwall tickets. If you want to spend more than an hour in each place I wouldn't recommend this itinerary...

For the artist it is creation by expression; for the appreciator it is creation by evocation.
