Description
Painted on the beach at St Mawes, Cornwall, looking across the mouth of the Percuil River on an August afternoon.
What really caught me wasn’t the view — it was the people standing in it. A family at the water’s edge, a father and daughter sitting on a rock, children paddling. I found myself wondering what they were seeing. Whether they were taking in the same light and water I was, or halfway through a conversation about something else entirely. We were all in the same place and very probably having different experiences.
The tide was going out when I started and had turned and was lapping my feet by the time I finished.
Oil on canvas board, A3 (approximately 42 × 30 cm). Painted entirely on location. Signed.
£450 framed in a white wood floating frame
£350 unframed
UK postage included. Oil paintings need time to cure — this one will be dispatched in around two weeks. Or if you’re local to St Mawes, I can deliver by boat!
