DURGAN

Situated on the Helford estuary near Falmouth, Durgan is a charming hamlet. The lane leading down to it is framed by majestic trees. The painting evokes the sereness of this location and is created from memory.

Rendered with a blend of autumnal colours and soft brushwork, Durgan reflects my initial experience of this picturesque spot. The work recalls an early September when I, accompanied by a friend, walked from Durgan along the coast path to the Ferry Boat Inn at Helford Passage. The scene depicted is not just a physical space but a deeply personal beginning, marking the beginning of a new chapter for me living in Cornwall.
