Art Weekly 170 – Quiet Streets, Polperro

AW-170-Polperro,Cornwall27th April 2016

Apologies for another large gap in my Art Weekly paintings. I’ve been working on various large canvasses, and somehow haven’t managed to finish off any of the small ones I have patiently waiting. I hope to finish my Newsletter very soon, so you will be able to get a peek at where my energies have been directed!

This is a a street scene from the lovely town of Polperro in Cornwall. It was December when were there, and a tad chilly, hence the deserted look of the place. I believe during the summer months, it’s a whole different story!

Art Weekly 141 – Polperro, Cornwall

AW-141_Polperro-Cornwall22nd April 2014 – SOLD

I took this photo of the harbour in Polperro when we visited the UK in December. This is my first ever painting of anywhere in England and the colour palette was a bit challenging! One of my reasons for wanting to visit Cornwall again after nearly 40 years was to see and photograph these tiny fishing villages tucked into the Cornish coast.

Polperro is a magical place with its jumble of small white houses and narrow streets set around a pretty harbour with its bobbing boats (when the tide’s in) – sounds a bit like Greece really, apart from the tide, but, way different! The fish and chips eaten in a little topsy turvey pub on the harbours edge were most definitely a high point. It really doesn’t take much imagination to evoke the centuries of its history as a thriving smugglers port either.
