Rest from days labour Print

A view of the Red Lion Hotel in Clovelly Harbour, Bideford, North Devon at low tide, painted from the harbour below some fishing boats. There is something romantic about boats resting in the harbour, like resting leviathans, drying and waiting for the next days labour. The colours, shapes and the comforting walls of the harbour make it a homely place, beyond the walls is the tempest of the unforgiving sea. I chose to do this as a watercolour and gouache as the vivid colours of the boats, the green of the trees and the hotel beyond made it a magical place for me. The textures, shadows, and you can hear the gulls and the gentle receding tidal waters lapping at the walls. The sunlight reflecting and playing patterns of the water. This is my happy place and its timeless. I also wanted to paint very small like you are peering through a boats window. The original painting which is also for sale is mounted in a frame measuring 19.5 inches x 12 inches. Its a simple white frame and matte with glass. It would look nice as a part of set in an intimate space or room.
