I returned to St Ives (Cornwall, UK) in Spring 2018 intending to capture some scenes of the evening to turn into paintings. One stood out, and that was the harbour with the glitsy lights of the various bars and cafes and streetlights reflecting in the high water, broken only by the dark shapes of boats. It was around 10pm and there was still a hint of light left in the sky. Painted in oil on board measuring 20x16 inches.

This view is based on a photo I took of St Ives harbour (Cornwall, UK) at low tide one late afternoon. The sea leaves the harbour completely, so people walk amongst the boats and play on the exposed sand. There are many more boats, but this selection caught my eye. Painted in oil on board 16x12 inches
