Original artwork description:

Fantastic sunset colour washing over the harbour walls, catching the creels and gulls in a fiery blast while the pink clouds look on from above.

I caught this view as I wandered the harbour in Arbroath, Scotland and later that week painted it with oils on canvas board. To my usual blues and rust orange I added deep red, pink and sea green resulting in a broader palette than is typical of my work. I stuck with my familiar square brushes tho, keeping that sculptural look I love.

This painting is quite small - in a handmade frame, it measures about 11"x11" square. It's a great size for a staircase, porch or kitchen corner. The contemporary neutral colours of the frame compliment the classic seaside fishing subject of the painting.
