Fine art print of the original painting of Southbourne, Bournemouth. Part of the travel print collection by Dorset artist Richard Watkin. Printed on quality 315gsm textured cotton paper available in A4, A3 and A2 sizes which fit 'off the shelf' frames. All the prints are signed by the artist.
What's the story? - In June 2015 we took part in the Shake and Stir Vintage Festival a fantastic event organised by the locals of Southbourne. At the time Richard hadn't painted Southbourne-on-Sea so we asked our customers what they wanted. Ideas ranged from the bandstand to the 'polar bear' in the cliffs to Fisherman's walk funicular railway. Richard took some photos and we decided the railway was the iconic feature, he added some cyclist on the prom and Southbourne-on-Sea was born!
Artist Richard Watkin paints the evocative locations and landscapes of Dorset from the beaches and towns of Bournemouth, Poole and Christchurch to the dramatic Jurassic Coastline and picturesque Purbeck villages. He paints with acrylics in a bold graphical style, his travel print collection evokes a sense of nostalgia, a time when the pace of life was slower and the sun was always shinning!
