Bwrw Glaw Oil on canvas 76x153 cm 2025. £3400
The title is partly in Kernewek but the phrase Bwrw Glaw is also Cymraeg. As a lot of you know I am learning Cymraeg, along the way I am also picking up the odd words in Kernewek (Cornish) which is really fun.
The kernewek word for rain is glaw, and in Cymraeg bwrw glaw is raining or it's raining and also falling rain.
It is always fascinating to know how close Kernewek and Cymraeg languages are and I have a liking for titling my artworks in the local language, but here with this artwork as well I have an opportunity to title the artwork in both Kernewek and Cymraeg simultaneously ..... thus continuing the centuries old deep connections between Kernow and Cymru. And it gives me the opportunity to play with language ....... much in the same way as the Shetlandic poet Christine De Luca does in her poetry.
The painting is available direct from me and if you live local you are very welcome to pop round and have a look
