New work: Tobermory

So this week I left my beloved Cornwall behind - though only in a virtual sense, you understand - and headed up to Scotland to carry out this commissioned piece of Tobermory. Some of you may be familiar with the place, especially if I tell you that this colourful town is where the childrens TV series "Balamory" is filmed!




I would love to visit for real one day!

Next week, I am off to Wales! I have another order for a pretty town on the coast. Can you guess where that might be, I wonder?

Have a most excellent weekend folks xx

    Hard to guess with all of Wales but I'm going to go for Tenby...

    Love Tobermory (the collage and the Womble)

    Once again, these are beautiful. I love the way you capture the depth of the reflections so well. Gosh Balamory takes me back about 7 years! we were buying a tall pink house at the time and even our surveyor refered to it as Archie's castle in his report!!

    Tobermory, what a great name. For a town and a Womble. Wonder if there is a town called Uncle Bulgarius?

    Your work, as always, is splendid.

    cheers

    I've been to Tobermory, lovely place!
    You've captured the essence of the place and dare I say, even the light!

    Now, where in Wales....Saundersfoot?

    Enjoy, wherever you go!

    Those are very evocative - and great to look at! Just discovered you on the Plushies/Ragdoll site on Etsy, where I have been unforgivably absent for some months (my fault entirely!) Vowing to be a better member of the team, I'm inviting you to visit my blog (www.ColdhamCuddliescalling.blogspot.com) where I post about my toys and then try to sell them at www.coldhamcuddlies.etsy.com. I'd love to see you there, and meanwhile, will be following you. Love these pictures, and I'm not usually a picture friendly person!
