Brisons Veor - Palettes

“. . . In Cornwall you are in touch with ancient things, and with strange memories, with a people who thoughts and visions are marvelously remote from those of a crowded populace.” P.4 Unknown Cornwall 1925

 I’m on my third day of my artist's residency at Brisons Veor in Cape Cornwall,  England.  I have horrible jet lag and don't seem to be sleeping at all.  Although I'm feeling under the weather I truly want to be productive.

I left the beautiful house on the sea at around 2:15 pm today to take a walk up the hill to the nearby town of St. Just.  I thought maybe if I got moving a bit more I might sleep better tonight.   The colors are so interesting here that I decided to do a few digital palette studies from some of the photos I took on the walk. 

There's palettes are not definitive.  They are just quick studies that could use a lot more refinement.  All the colors and the light is so different from California.  I'm not sure what I will do with these palettes but I thought I should make them. Here they are.
