A place in West Pentire is known in Cornwall for its flowers. Polly Joke is near Crantock and, in June, the meadows are full of beautiful scarlet poppies and corn marigolds. They are much loved by photographers and artists. A favourite artist of mine is Georgia O’Keefe. She was American. She painted huge flowers, including scarlet and black poppies, without a background, semi-abstract. “People walk past flowers,” she said, “and they don’t look at them.” She did look at her flowers with great attention. My friends like to paint flowers as well.
