Description
ORIGINAL SOLD. AVAILABLE AS LIMITED EDITION PRINTS.
This scene is of a group of children playing on a Cornish beach. Downderry is a popular Cornish seaside village enjoying breathtaking, un-spoilt coastline and countryside about 18 miles west of Plymouth and 4 miles east of Looe. I have visited the village and beach on a couple of occasions and found it to be a place that is particularly popular with children, who spend happy hours searching the rock pools or building grand constructions in the sand.
This painting is taken from a series of photographs I took in 2003 and is a composite of a number of different views. The dog, whose name was Oscar, was photographed here and made several appearances in my earlier paintings.

A super piece of painting, full of interest and good capture of the atmosphere of the sea side. The sand looks just right for sandcastles! v

Thanks, Martin. Much appreciated. This has remained one of my favourites and I could have sold the original a dozen times. Hope you are thriving!
