During the low tide at St.Ives this skilled painter slowly produces a beautiful re-creation of the beach scene. Generously he allows me to photograph him doing his work.
After I had walked around the harbour wall on the left of the shot, the tide had turned and luckily for this man he had expertly timed his working speed, so by the time the water was moving his subject all he had to do was a few colour changes. Doubly lucky as it began to rain steadily by the turn of the tide also.

This is another angle of this painter which I am a real fan of, and may have posted instead of my original. But, because of the sun bleaching I felt that this was too distracting, and thus chose the angle I did for my post of this artist.

...to remove burn out in the clouds and emphasise foreground figure and his relationship to the scene + I'm a real fan of this format.....but curiously hardly - if ever these days use it myself.....
