Unfortunately, I couldn't go to the art group yesterday evening. Therefore I did not see Nina Worrall myself. Her inspiration for the evening was the red poppies in West Pentire. June is the best month to see them. She usually does portraits of animals. Last night she used paper but sometimes she uses velour, canvas or slates. Georgia O'Keefe also painted poppies - huge portraits of the flowers.

Whei ell còsca e'n lowarth!"  Heb sowena. It's evening, and the sunset is turning the trees' top branches a bronze colour. In summer the sun sets in the north-west. "It's not night yet! We want to play. We do not need to sleep." "But I'd like to go to bed myself. I will lock the door. You can sleep in the garden!" Unsuccessful.

Na whath, otta radn a dhescans scrifys genam moy a-varr. I was very busy today (with my little grandson). There was not enough time to take pretty photos or write something new. However, here is part of a lesson I wrote earlier. Cressya emann agan tavas Kernôwek Radn 28a Building up our Cornish language Part 28a Here is a new auxiliary or modal verb: mednes  ( SWFM  mynnes )  wish, will, want, intend Like  gallos , it helps to alter the “flavour” of a main verb. The paradigm is as follows. Parts are shown with ‹ m›  mutated to ‹ v› , as they are after the verbal particles  a  and  na . After the particle  e  ( SWF M  y ) they also start with ‹ v› , rather than earlier ‹ f› , e.g.  e vedn:   it will be;   e venja :  it would be....
