This oil painting started life on location (plein air) on a VERY noisy Maenporth Beach overlooking St Anthony Head on the Fal River, Cornwall. I really enjoyed painting en plein air but the beach was so busy with dog walkers I decided to make it a short session and finish the painting in the studio. It was a fairly cold January morning (I was stood in the shade!) but nice and bright.

I was happy with the loose 'feel' of the outdoor work so it was going to be difficult to keep it like that in the studio and not overwork it. This was my first plein air painting of 2022 and a continuation of my Fal River project, which will be exhibited at Royal Cornwall Museum July - December 2022.

Let me know what you think in the comments and please ask any questions - I always do my best to answer them.

Bye for now - Andrew
