Summer, 1928 by Winifred Nicholson

In the summer of 1928, Winifred Nicholson and her family stayed at Feock, near Truro in Cornwall. The change of pace, landscape, and sea air inspired some of her best work of the period. The cottage Haylands, with views over the Creek , inspired Winifred to paint a number of pictures of boats and Pill Creek in various guises. According to Winifred, it was a 'sleeping beauty’s countryside of southern foliage, sheltered creeks and wide expanse of placid water.
