Whitstable harbour

Ah - Captain Birdseye, eh! Lovely, cheerful and definitely highlights the work of our fishermen.

It's good to see a bit of fun amongst all the heavy stuff that where being drown with at the moment.

He looks very proud of his fish, and so he should be! :o)

this is a super painting Peter :-) when i first saw it, the cartoon 'Tin Tin' sprang to mind. Really lovely colouring and i like the wax effect for frothing sea water/salt that has been left behind :-) the fisherman looks a very proud chappy, and so he should, what a catch :-)

A new painting for my current show at The Horsebridge Arts & Community Centre, the harbour itself only a minute's walk from the gallery. A simplified and graphic interpretation, it sums up the spirit of the harbour which still has a working fishing role to play. The show goes on until next Tuesday 9th October 2012 in Gallery 2. Drawn in (appropriately) a 'Pierre Noir' pencil which gives a very punchy line which works well with large, strong and simple compositions. Winsor & Newton watercolour with Pierre Noir pencil on The Langton 300 gsm rough grain fin paper, (with a touch of wax for foreground texture).
