Sunny June Day, Newlyn Harbour
On a sunny day in June, the first thing that caught my eye in Newlyn harbour was the contrast of the bright orange boats against the cool turquoise of the water. It was a mass of colour, but I wanted to capture the atmosphere of the day rather than every bit of detail. Various boats coming in and out of the harbour constantly change the scene, as does the changing tide.
I tend to use a small canvas when painting in Newlyn so that I can finish the painting fairly quickly before the scene looks completely different.
