Welcome to the blog of Melanie McDonald ! I'm a professional artist, my life is divided between my home in Newquay, Cornwall and my renovation project - an 18th Century farm - in North Brittany, France. My inspiration comes from the beautiful beaches, skies and seas of Cornwall, Brittany and Scotland. This is where I share my paintings and photographs, I hope it inspires you.

Ideas for Art Pinboard : Herons, Egrets and Cranes




One of the really cool things about a Daily Painting Project, (I started mine on my birthday last April), is that I can experiment with new ideas on a small scale - ideas that I may never try in my larger paintings.  Having discovered a love for painting gulls, I've moved on to herons and egrets. Herons can often be seen from my studio window, gliding effortlessly on the breeze... scanning the river in the valley below.

The paintings below are from my Daily Painting Project.
