Painting the Warmth of the Sun

Painting the Warmth of the sun 2/6/09

A DVD presented by Patrick Heron on the experience of painting Cornwall through his eyes and those of his contemporaries.
This is well worth a watch just to glean the insights into the creative process as much as any thing and hear some very poignant statement s and phrases such as

“We have infinite possibilities if we just let it flow.”(Alan Davy jazz pianist and spontaneous painter)

“Experiencing the totality of the landscape “ (Patrick Heron)

“Three foxglove summers.” (I love this comment this year is a foxglove summer!) (Peter Lanyon)

“Love imagined into paint” (Peter Lanyon)

“A needs to see and discover.”
(Terry Frost who went to Camberwell and drew his boat shapes at Mullion Cove on the Lizard where I have been recently to view the amazing array of cliff top wild flowers)

“The spirit of Cornwall” (Patrick Heron)
