Coastal Path 20April2007 . Oil & acrylic on paper . 18 x 15 inches"Landscape painters who live by the water tend to look out, to stretch their views to the horizon line, to the edge of the world. .... Michael Porter looks down. Although the granite cottages where he lives and works are in the fishing village of Newlyn, on the Cornish coast, it's what's under his feet and what his hands can reach that interest him. On long rambles he'll pick up stones, shells, feathers, grasses, twigs, fungi and anything else that catches his eye. What clouds were to Constable, the earth is to Porter."
