Waiting for the tide

Two fishing boats waiting for the tide, in pastel, by Cornish artist Michael Sanders.

"This was painted as a demonstration at a small art shop in Surrey. I was working from a sketch and colour notes, close to the shop window. A few people gathered outside to watch, then others came to see what they were looking at, until there was quite a large crowd. The shop did a good trade that day!".
