Well done Alice the thought of even tackling such a difficult scene is scary but you have made a splendid job of it. With so many boats the composition is difficult however, you have successfully used the side of the foreground boat to lead the eye into the painting.

Acrylic on paper laminated onto board - 100 x 71cm In this painting I wanted to convey the feeling of a busy, working, Cornish harbour. I was interested in capturing the boats resting at different angles on the harbour bed at low tide, creating various positive and negative shapes.

I enjoyed painting the way the boats, chains and ropes have been weathered over time with these ‘imperfections’ hinting at the journeys these vessels have taken.
