Low tide in the harbour, Mousehole

Low tide in the harbour, Mousehole

While I fly to Morocco today I thought I would just leave you with another Mousehole painting with a different feel. Again this is the harbour but here you see it's low tide and there are still lots of boats. I painted this en plein air in October. I was looking across the glare of light on the wet sand, and had to work fast as the sky was rapidly changing. I like the directness of the marks on this piece.

This is one of three paintings now available for sale at the Little Picture Gallery in Mousehole, Cornwall.
