I asked my artist in residence, Tim Baynes to produce a painting of the harbour at Tenby. He managed to take my rather drab photograph, shot in the dim light of a dull evening, and turn it into a vibrant portrait of this pretty little town.
Here is the photograph on which the painting was based.

I love Tenby and the drawing totally capture my memories of happy times spent down the harbour with my children so wonder if there are copies for sale.
Hi Alison, I don’t think he has made any copies, as he sends me the originals in batches from time to time. He’s very good at capturing a sense of place.
I looked on his site may be I’ll look him up once we can travel more than 5miles. Does he have a studio or shop that we can visit I just love his style of drawing.
I don’t think he has a shop, but I’m sure he’ll respond to emails. It’s actually a long time since I communicated with him, for which I’m feeling a bit guilty.
