Of pastels and painters

PZ999, the Jannie en Klaas has featured in the work of a series of local artists - mainly thanks to her having been laid up in the same berth for some time, she was the subject of a study by Neil Pinkett recently shown at the Beside the Wave Gallery, Falmouth......
a few lucky local artists get to work in the old Stanhope Forbe's studio in the Meadows up Paul Hill, even with the amount of light brought into the studio by the newly restored window there's nothing like working 'en plein' as members of the Newlyn School enjoyed....
so, on a sunny Sunday, with pastels to hand the Jannie is once more committed to paper....
with Helen Feiler, Newlyn art gallery owner also enjoying the chance to capture an element of the harbour in detail.....
over in Penzance wet dock, an aspiring sea captain looks skywards towards the top gallant of the Ar Bageergan.....
with a settled spell of weather the local sailing club has three classes of boat on the water.....
as they make good use of a fresh nor'westerly breeze......
to round the marks on a triangular course set by the race boat.
