This painting holds special meaning to me. Painted on a painting retreat with a mentoring group in Cornwall, England, in our mentor's linney, below her studio in Newlyn. This space was used by many famous painters of the Newlyn School, painters bound together by their shared belief of plein air painting and their desire to capture the daily lives of the local fishermen and their communities there. Walter Langley painted a scene in this very spot, and I tried to emulate his viewpoint as much as possible, while incorporating the scene as it stands today.
