Fowey


The port town of Fowey (pronounced Foy) is on the coast of south Cornwall at the River Fowey.  The River Fowey is subject to tides, and this boat is sitting up river in the mud at low tide on a cloudy day (most days in Cornwall seemed cloudy).   6x8 oil on panel.

Polperro Two



The inner harbor of Polperro, a small fishing village in southern Cornwell, is well stocked with parked boats.  I read that this place was once a smugglers' capital, but now mainly attracts tourists.  When I was there, it was not very sunny, unfortunately, but at least the tide was in.  9x12 oil on panel.

Polperro


A souvenir of the ancient fishing village of Polperro in Cornwall.  These boats are in the inner harbor, protected by a large wall with a gate.  The buildings were whitewashed in the 20th century since all the 19th century photos in the local museum show them without the white.  9x12 oil on panel.
