Shirley Goodsell | Originals Gallery | The Beached Boat, Filey

The fishing boat was bathed in the afternoon sun.

During the Summer I was walking down the ramp to the beach with my easel and canvas.

I came across this parked, colourful, well-maintained and equipped boat.

I wanted to paint it in the warm afternoon sunlight and also record it as a reminder of Filey’s once very numerous and prosperous fishihg fleet.
