This is marvellous Bobbie. Such drama and interesting narratives in this painting. Love all those colourful boats.

I find this very appealing Bobbie. It has a real sense of life.

It's really good Bobbie, like it a lot

Thank you for your kind comments. This is actually my 3rd attempt at painting Porthleven at Nightfall. The first one - a small acrylic, which is my favourite - is saved in My Art; and because the 2nd one ended up in the bin I've called this Nightfall at Porthleven 2!

Very dramatic. The portrait format works really well.

My husband and I visited in August last year when the weather was beautiful, the sea still and the sky cloudless.
