I was completely blown away by this article, transported to Penzance by train.The Harold Harvey paintings are breathtaking, thank you so much for introducing us to these beautiful works. A tour de force, which I shall re-read many times. Longing to be in Penzance this morning! Thank you Jane , another highlight.
I'm drinking my morning coffee in Lund, Sweden and feel an immediate and intense need to catch the train to Pencanze. A trip would take about 28 hours. But I will keep your nice description in mind. What a beautiful introduction to Cornwall and Harold Harvey! Thank you!
Oh my goodness. Those paintings are beautiful. The colours are wonderful. I'm in Cornwall in a couple of weeks & will be just too late to catch this exhibition. I'll see if I can find a copy of the accompanying book as I'd really like to know more about Harold Harvey.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write these posts - I have learned so much and been introduced to so many new ideas & artists. It's an absolute joy & an inspiration to read your posts every Sunday.
Thank you for another wonderful post about your art adventures. I have come to appreciate Harold Harvey through many of your posts. Your art explorations do inspire one. The American Swedish Institute In Minneapolis, Minnesota is hosting an exhibition āKarin Larrson: Let the Hand be Seenā and we are attending it this coming weekend. Once again inspired by your posts about Sweden. ā¤ļø
What a delightful tour this morning! The icy, knowing look between Mistress and āmistressā and the Masterās indifference is just fabulous!! I love the knitting woman and all the wee subtleties in these glimpses of Penzance. An artist I didnāt know, but plan to explore!!!
Lovely memories here. My father always booked a pullman carriage for our annual trip from Bristol to Paddington en route to Colchester in the late 50's early 60's. We never reached the heights of a full breakfast or lunch, but coffee and hot chocolate, served by liveried attendants, in silvery pots and china crockery was wonderful.
Two reproductions of Harold Harvey's, 'Going to Market' and 'The Potato Pickers' hung in a classroom in my rural Essex grammar school. Thought appropriate, no doubt, as many were children of local farmers. I'd forgotten him until today
Yes! I remember the cat! I grew up in Somerset & we used to travel up by train to visit my Great Aunt Martha and we always paid a quick visit to the ladies to see the cat. She was very fat, but seemingly very happy with all the attention.
Longtime admirer of the Newlyn School of artists & lucky enough to own a very small Lamorna Birch. Your Sunday Substacks take me to places I have only dream of visiting or returning to. Every Sunday is a day of delights when I open up Yarnstorm. Thank you for the beautiful paintings and thread you weave through them.
I was with you on the train to Penzance. I visited the lovely library through the link in your piece and say by the Pickle van drinking tea and admiring the views. I have not heard of Harold Harvey, his paintings are beautiful. Thank for your lovely writing.
Wonderful, as ever! Waking up feeling rather low this morning, reading your words and looking at the wonderful pictures (not least the obligatory Beatles!) has cheered me up no end. Thank you very much.

I'm drinking my morning coffee in Lund, Sweden and feel an immediate and intense need to catch the train to Pencanze. A trip would take about 28 hours. But I will keep your nice description in mind. What a beautiful introduction to Cornwall and Harold Harvey! Thank you!
Such a lovely introduction to an artist I havenāt come across before - thank you Jane. I will look out for him.

Just realised that the titles on the prints weren't correct.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for introducing me to the colourful work of Harold Harvey! Love!
I rarely comment here, but only because I always have so many things to say, I donāt know where to start.
Another feast of travel ideas, art history and beautiful images. Thank you š
My Dad grew up in Cornwall and he always loved the part of the train journey at Dawlish. As you say, you are almost in the sea!
We did family holidays to the Isles of Scilly in the early 1980s, and the train journey from Paddington was the start of the adventure.
Does anyone else remember āthe worldās fattest catā who resided in the ladiesā toilets?
Yes! I remember the cat! I grew up in Somerset & we used to travel up by train to visit my Great Aunt Martha and we always paid a quick visit to the ladies to see the cat. She was very fat, but seemingly very happy with all the attention.
