This is an Art Gallery in St Ives Cornwall.
Many years ago - it used to be a Studio for many of the Artists in and around St Ives.
It has'nt been moderised, it still is in the same condition as it was in those years gone by,
as you can see.
As you walk in -----Just stand and look, can you not feel its history thoughout your body.
Just take a look at the floor, with all those paint splatters all around, can you just imagine--all the hard work,sweat, the highs and lows and frustrations of the Artists as they created their master pieces of Art.
The friendly banter, the auguments, and the many cups of tea, and maybe a bottle or two of wine - or beer.
I bet - this gallery could tell a tale or two.

I expect some very famous artists trod those boards over the years
oh to be a fly on the wall!
I love the old blue door, I wonder how many masterpieces were born there.

Oh yeah, if those walls could talk!!
(this is kind of like a house, ha)
Funny, it looks like my mess, but I don't remember going there to paint?!
It reminds me of Art school, our school was located in a building which stand up by miracle. It rained inside and the floor was full of paintings and the walls as well. The doors looked very similar to the one you show, but we all loved this place. Now the building is closed (too dangerous) and the school moved into a very modern building, all the charm is gone ! Fortunately they moved when I had left already.
It must have been a lively place - maybe more beer that tea?
That was a fun tour. If the gallery could speak, I would ask which pieces were its favorite.
The atmosphere must be very special there and I also wish I the building could tell a good story or two.
Why are artists so messy? At least digital photography is a clean medium. I bet your DW makes a bit of a mess sometimes with her creativity.
Hi imac... Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you will return. My hubby (George-Senior Moments) talks about you and your great photography.
I'll bet alot of GREAT art happened at that gallery through the years.
Great pictures.

How long ago was it an artist's studio? Why has it remained untouched? So many questions...
I really enjoy visiting places with historic connections. Thanks for taking us to this studio.
Hi Imac...(I'm still away from home...but doing my best to get to my favorite blogs...)
I love this one. I'm an amateur photographer...AND an amateur artist. I love to paint...and the photo of the paint splatters made my heart do a 'turn over'...
Thank you....for memories....through your great photographs.
Love,
Jackie
