Lovely picture! I've stayed in that cottage, top right. It turned out that our neighbour was Rodney Bewes! A painter called Vince Tutton also lives in Cadgwith, and he organises lovely painting holidays to Tuscany. Happy memories! Love all the detail on your picture.

Thank you for your kind comment, Shirley. Rodney Bewes ay. I'm tempted to say 'A likely Story'... I will look Vince Tutton up, it's not a name that I am familiar with...

Cadgwith Cove, Cornwall: Watercolour, gouache pen and ink on extra smooth Winsor & Newton 250 gsm Bristol Board, mounted on a wooden panel. 39.5 X 27.5 cm. Cadgwith Cove is a small, traditional cornish fishing village on the eastern Lizard Peninsular, sitting in a valley leading down to the sea, with whitewashed and thatched cottages in evidence. Apart from the summer tourism, its principle source of income is still the sea, with small fishing boats that launch, as they have for centuries from the exposed shingle beach, when the weather allows, in search of crab, lobster and mackerel. I was attracted to this compact and busy composition and its complex tangle of detail, with the fishing boats hauled up hard against the land away from the breaking waves of the sea. http://www.rogerturnerart.com/Cadgwith_Cove
