Thank you all for your kind comments. YOu may notice but the dog (Oscar) makes an appearance in quite a few of my paintings. This was his first appearance.

Thank you for our kind comments. I painted this in 2004 and it hung on our living room wall until last year when I pursuaded my wife that we should exhibit it. Lots of people liked it and of course it sold! I've replaced it with a gyclée print on canvas.

24" x 30". ORIGINAL SOLD. AVAILABLE AS GICLÃ‰E PRINTS. Although I painted this in 2004 (and the original is sold), this is such a popular painting, that I have decided to include it in this portfolio. Downderry is a popular Cornish seaside village enjoying breathtaking, un-spoilt coastline and countryside about 18 miles west of Plymouth and 4 miles east of Looe. I have visited the village and beach on a couple of occasions and found it to be a place that is particularly popular with children, who spend happy hours searching the rock pools or building grand constructions in the sand. This painting is taken from a series of photographs I took in 2003 and is a composite of a number of different views. The dog, whose name was Oscar, was photographed here and made several appearances in my earlier paintings. Please visit my web site at: www.richardharpum.com
