Time and Tide, St Ives ​

This is a pencil drawing of the waves breaking on Smeaton’s Pier, St Ives. I loved creating all the different textures in this drawing with the waves splashing against the granite stones of the pier. I love the sense of history in this scene. How many tides has this pier seen in it's lifetime and how many fishermen passing in and out of the harbour?
