Waiting for the ferry at East portlemouth in Devon


This painting is of the jetty where are queue builds whilst waiting to return to Salcombe on the ferry. The silhouettes of the people and children I find intriguing. The moment when people stop and stay in one place. They start to look around, reach into their banks, turn round for conversations, point out interesting things to the nearest person and generally take time to stop and look. All the time the light bounces from the water all around them. I love painting these are little subtle relationships between the people on the jetty. They always seem fresh and interesting subjects to paint.
