A painting a week. Week 22

“Cadgwith village”

Cadgwith village is a village in Cornwall, England, situated on the Lizard peninsula.

We visited the village few years ago, when we were visiting Cornwall, and we stayed couple of days on Lizard peninsula. While there, we have seen Lizard point, the southern most point of England and some little towns and villages. Cadgwith came as a very pleasant surprise, an old fishing village with a great character. Lovely cottages and beautiful surroundings. We have had long walks around.

The painting I did was inspired by one of many photos taken by us.

I painted it in three sessions, alla prima, using Michael Harding paints and De Mayerne medium.

So, here it is:
