Bristol Harbourside, 15" x 11".
This is one of my accepted entries to the Bristol Harbourside Art Prize 2014 (all entries had to be a subject around the Bristol Waterfront area) and winner of the 'Porthleven Prize'. It was a bit of a last minute painting and nearly did not make it. I'm not sure what the red boat is called, but I spent the most time on that part, getting the curves right and the shadows, being a little focal point. In the background and very lightly painted in, are the old cranes and the Industrial Museum building or M-Shed.
A complicated scene Tim. I must say the prow of the red boat looks rather flat. Maybe the shadow on the side could have been curved to emphasize its shape?

Thanks Doug. Good idea. Maybe also a pole on the quayside casting a curved shadow also. Thanks again.

The red boat is called 'MFV 140 - Joseph' She is a 71 year old ex Navy training vessel and she now belongs to me! Lovely to see a painting of her!

Thank you Sami for your kind comments. This painting has now been sold (not sure who to as it was via a gallery)
