Such beautiful art and words. I’m not from Cornwall but my dream is to live there one day as it is the place where I feel most connected to. It’s a magical place and you have captured it perfectly 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What a gorgeous newsletter, thank you so much for sharing. Your oceans have such depth and feeling to them! I am in the US but am dying to visit Cornwall someday. Thank you again!
What a lovely piece Anna! You’ve made me realise that for me, Tenby, where I’ve been going since I was a baby, is the place that feels like a spiritual home for me. Maybe for you, the world is yours - I think your wonderful sense of adventure in moving around the world is so inspiring!! And I know just what you mean about how much drawing lights you up and how absorbing it is. I recognise this so much, especially if I have taken a break from sketching outdoors and I come back to it. Perhaps that is a kind of spiritual home - the place of drawing!! Xxx
So beautiful Anna, both your words and your drawings. I love that you feel most "in your bones" when you're drawing or you're talking about drawing. It means you could possibly be at home everywhere or maybe everywhere where the sea is also.
Always a pleasure to read your words and see the beautiful images you pair with them (I especially live that sea one that you said you didn’t like so much, the one with the little lighthouse). I have so many similar feelings about not having found that sense of place, though I know which sorts of places fell close to it for me, nearly always spots with hills, trees and coastline (which is probably why I love the drawing I mentioned) . Your seal encounter felt magical to me.
It was lovely to see the evolution of your sketches and hear you reflect about a sense of home.
I have a similar experience to you. I never really felt home somewhere, but I love the thrill of discovering something new. However with my husband everything we go to tribunj we feel it could one day feel like home. Because our heart is always at peace here.
Let's see where our Destiny takes us, maybe in 10y time you write a similar article again with a place you call home🏡
I always love your words, but I loved this one so much. We moved around enough when I was a kid that there was never one "home" for me. Home was where my mom and my stuff were. But since I had kids, I've lived in one place (21 years now, moving here when my older child was a baby). It's almost made me afraid to leave it, but we probably will in a couple of years. I used to be used to moving around, every year or two or three. But now... I hope I can regain a sense of adventure. Thank you for continuing to share your perspective on the world. <3
Anna, you write so beautifully! Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your month in Cornwall and all memorable experiences you had being there. The seal encounter was especially enchanting :) I hope someday that my travels will take me to Cornwall!

The whole southwest of England is magical, heaven to draw, hope to be back there soo…. now, I just have to make do with adoring your drawings.
Oh Anna this is such a gorgeous piece of writing.
Wonderful text! I feel like that in some place, always near the sea.

Your words, like your drawings, paint such a beautiful picture. This was such a lovely read, thank you.
This is just beautiful Anna. Perfect reading for me this morning.

You transport me to such a dear place, thank you 🌞 What wonderful artwork 🌱
This was a wonderful read! Thank you for sharing!
Anna, I have missed your musings and your writing! This one made me cry and made my heart so very full too. 🙏
I pick up my framed pieces of your 3 prints in the next couple of weeks and can't wait to get them hanging in my studio.🥰
Thank you for sharing your lovely sketches.
