I have spoken to the owner of the Ripple - John Lambourne & Rob Mcdowell from the local National Historic Boats in Newlyn. They told me she hasn’t sailed in 8 years but was once a working fishing boat. Built in 1896, and over time has been lengthened, survived a fire and sinking! I sketched the Ripple first deciding on high tide and evening atmosphere to match the age & feel of the boat. I painted en plein air early evening and captured the moments as it got darker into the night. It’s an old boat in an old harbour but surrounded by current working fishing boats which I wanted to include as it’s now part of her story.
