Today's painting is of the jetty in Salcombe, I love the subtle relations between the people. The couple in the front of the boat are really close together, there is plenty of room on the boat but they want to be close. The gentleman stepping into the boat is chatting with the other couple in the boat. When I paint these I like to think about situations and back stories to the people of paint. Could there be the a new romance, a long old friend not seen in years. These hiddern narratives are becoming more interesting to me than the painting of the lights on the water, which was originally the first point of inspiration in the monochrome series.
