Over 100 years ago, one of the great Newlyn School members, Harold Harvey captured this view of the Old Quay - when the outer parapet wall was still intact...
wind the clock forward and the harbour once again plays host to artists keen to capture the timeless quality and light of the place in oils on canvas...
under the expert eyes and guide of Vicki Norman...
seen here with a group which included three artists who hail from across the pond in Atlanta!..
with the Old Harbour restoration work now well underway the local lugger fleet are expected to return as they make the Old Quay their permanent base - which will mean more artists will be able to enjoy authentic scenes such as the lugger Painting Days once again. Put a date in your diary for this year's Bank Holiday weekend at the end of August!
