Bodies of water have been a source of artistic inspiration for hundreds of years. Bobbing boats, the sweeping shapes of the sea and sand, the colours and textures of the beach; every artist can find something to inspire by the seaside.

Harbours are particularly interesting, packed with lovely shapes, textures and colours and were frequently depicted by artists throughout the centuries. Through the depiction of boats and harbours, artists took the chance to depict scenes in which man met and even worked alongside the nature of the sea, whilst life in all its everyday colour continued at it’s shore.

If you have the chance for more harbourside meanderings, do let us know; and they will be added to this fabulous gallery.

Have a great week,

Love Liz at the Beach Hut
