Brief Description
In 1910, Frances Hodgkins still struggling between teaching classes and finding time to do her own work. She wrote to her mother from Concarneau, describing the late autumn scene: 'I go for walks by the sad sea walls – when it is too dark to paint – They are never sad for me I love them so & the gulls
& the big sky overhead. Its grey moments are too big to allow for sadness really.'
