The Barrel at Bude Style:Giclee Paper The original was painted on

The original was painted on the beach at Porthcothan during filming for my appearance of Rick Steins Cornwall series 2

Amid the blues and grey of this scene of Bude harbour and breakwater sits a little orange boat

A special time when you feel very close to nature as the beach is usually empty

the light is vibrant in the dancing foreground wave as the water retreats

You can feel the spray from the wave

The Barrel at Bude Style:Giclee Paper The original was painted onWild surf out in the bay which is pounding the breakwater. The iconic barrel is just visible at the end. Strong contrast and a hundred different blues fill the painting with vitality and energy typical of our lovely North Cornwall
