Porthleven Harbour, an imaginary composition

Porthleven, Cornwall, 22" x 15".

An imaginary composition of Porthleven Harbour in Cornwall (If a local saw this they would say things like "the pub on the right is too close to the tower"), but I have painted this pretty coastal town a few times now and can do it in my head so to speak.  Playing around on a larger size paper I really had some fun with splattering and dropping some clear water into the back ground buildings while the wash was still quite moist.  Looks disastrous when you do it but becomes less so as the paint dries.
