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.

#FridayPainting - Sea of Love, Cornwall

Come with me
My love
To the sea
The sea of love

I wanna tell you
How much
I love you

Do you remember
When we met
That's the day
I knew you were my pet

I wanna tell you
How much
I love you

Come with me
My love
To the sea
The sea of love

I wanna tell you
How much
I love you

This beautiful song was written by George Khoury and Philip Baptiste in 1959.  It's been covered many times by artists including Iggy Pop and Cat Power, (both versions are regular favourites to paint along to in my studio)... but my all time top cover is by Tom Waits.  His darker version on the album Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers and Bastards is brilliant!
