Beach at Padstow 15 x 11 inch Watercolour Painting

We recently spent the day at the lovely Cornish fishing town of Padstow.  As was the case on our only other visit, the heavens opened upon our arrival.  Sheltering in the car, we awaited the sun's arrival.  We didn't wait long and were soon exploring the busy harbour and neighbouring shopping streets.

 

Rick Stein has a strong influence in these parts and you soon encounter several of his dining outlets.  Unwilling to pay for the privilege of eating in one of Mr Stein's eateries we ended up in a posh greasy spoon.  In saying that, I didn't actually check the price of his menus and they may well have been quite reasonable!

 

Breaking free of the crowds we headed uphill along the coast and were greeted by an altogether more calm and tranquil scene.  As the land rose the huge, deserted beach came into view.  The painting illustrates the welcoming spectacle as we followed the path to the beach.

Hi Steven, you have captured the atmosphere of a breezy and rainy day by the coast very well. I love how the trees are painted and the way the path leads to the sea.
