Where is this?

[King of Groove]

My Sister and her husband have recently brought this picture from the store Laura Ashley.

The name of the artist on the picture is Simon Weaver.

Anyone know where it is?

Link just takes me to the main Laura Ashley page and searching for the name gives the brilliant quote of

Your search for "Simon Weaver" was corrected to "kimono weave" and returned 58 results

http://www.lauraashley.com/pictures/daybreak-canvas-print/invt/3423645/ - that link should work.

No idea where it is though. Looks like any number of little Cornish harbours I have been to.

that didnt work either, is it the daybreak canvas?

 

[Musicman]

Looks remarkably like Tenby to me

Still just going to the general site page here:shrug:

Simon Weaver is a Welsh artist, and he has done a few works with Polperro as the subject.

 

[Forbiddenbiker]

Dunno...they all look like that.

HERE is the big image alone pulled out the page

I don't think thats Polperro though, no high narrow cliffs....hmm, looking above I maybe thinking of the wrong place.

The buildings behind the harbour look quite colourful and so far I can't see any pictures of Polperro looking like that. Tenby looks a possibility.

And me!

It is.

all the links just go to Laura ashley main website for me

 

[Yv]

yep, I would go with that being Tenby too

 

[Jimmy_Lemon]

Yeah Tenby gets my vote too

As for the Laura Ashley site it is pretty crap isn't it? I even copied the "share" link for twitter etc. Bet they don't get much social media traffic

 

[Just Dave]

think Ive found it, as LA doesnt allow hotlinking, dont know where it is though

 

[Musicman]

Studied a few pics online and it's definitely Tenby, but it's been flipped horizontally.


The harbour wall going he wrong way had me wondering for a while

 

[viv1969]

Tenby...Definitely. imo.

 

[leftcurl]

i thought Polperro was that french clown which was on everyone's walls in the 80's

 

[kelack]

Lol that was a Pierrot

 

[Marc]

Lol that was a Pierrot

Wasn't he the Belgian detective?

 

[kelack]

Groan

Groan

wasn't he the Dutch painter?

 

[leftcurl]

wasn't he the Dutch painter?

no.. you fool. It's a just something women do. A lot. As a bloke you're probably not familiar with it, unless of course you've ever chipped an eyelash or had man flu

Meanwhile back on the topic!!!

Done some more research on the internet and actually managed to find the artists very own website. Although the scene wasn't show on the website the other paintings on the website were of a same style and so I was confident I had got the right artist!

Simon Weaver has responded and he said:

"Yes, that picture is of Tenby. It's a detail taken from a larger picture
that shows more of the town and beach. Laura Ashley cropped it for their
print and also reversed the image."

Many thanks to everyone for their kind replies and the slightly off topic replies which made me laugh!

Glad you've found your answer, KoG. None of the posted links worked for me either (IE?) so not seen the pic. Hope you love and enjoy it for many years (the only reason to buy art IMO).
