An original watercolour of the harbour village of Port Gaverne in Cornwall, on the South West coast of England.
This scene shows the quaint whitewashed cottages of the village, nestled in a secluded cove. Centrally placed in Sam's painting is the hotel and restaurant, a lovely place for an evening with friends.
Apparently, the beautiful hamlet with its slate and stone cottages, unchanged for hundreds of years, was used as a filming location for the TV series 'Doc Martin,' along with nearby Port Isaac.
A perfect holiday. Don't you just wish you were here?

Sam Burden was brought up in Newark, Nottinghamshire and was a long standing member of the Nottingham Society of Artists.
A self taught painter, Sam was known for his work in oils and watercolours. He was included in many major exhibitions around the Midlands, in addition to holding one man shows in Nottingham, Leicester, Maldon, Bodmin and Newark.
His work won several accolades including the Holbrook Prize (for work shown at Nottingham Castle in 1981 and at Friar Lane Gallery in 1990). His art covers a wide range of subjects from industrial scenes, which drew commissions from British Steel, to English landscape.
Sam's distinctive style with attention to detail is based on sound draughtsmanship and keen observation which is reflected in all his paintings.
