Polperro

Original Watercolor 15" x 22"

by Bill Hudson

With Custom Frame.................$1,800

The quaint village of Polperro (population 1,550) sits on the south coast of Cornwall, England. Since the 12^th century, the harbor has been famous for both fishing and historic smuggling (chiefly spirits and tobacco). I thank Paul Dinning for granting me permission to use screenshots of his YouTube videos as a reference. 

The Artist Eye

.....by Bill Hudson

Have you ever encountered events so “coincidental,” that the right decision seems obvious? A couple weeks ago, I finished my last class teaching watercolor for the month of January in Laguna Beach. At the conclusion, the organizer of the class, Gail, asked if I could recommend another instructor for the month of October. I remembered watercolor artist, N. C. Swan, who exhibits at the Artist Eye Gallery which I conveniently pass in downtown Laguna on my way home. So, I stopped in Artist Eye on Pacific Coast Hwy to get contact information. There, by sheer “coincidence” I met two old friends… Ann and Ernie Jones (another exhibiting artist). I hadn’t seen either in several years.

Within a short time of catching up, Ernie and Ann asked if I would like to be a guest artist in the Artist Eye for three months beginning this March. With a little thought and approval from the other artists, I gladly accepted.

So, beginning March 1^st, I’ll have a wall in the Artist Eye where “Polperro” (above) will be shown for the first time. Please stop by and say “Hi.” I’ll be there for the First Thursday Artwalk from 5 – 8 pm on March 2^nd.
