“Red pirate boat”
Lyme Regis is a coastal town of Dorset, situated midway between Exeter and Dorchester, in Lyme Bay. It is nicknamed “Pearl of Dorset” and is known for the fossils found in rocks and cliffs, which are part of the “Jurassic Coast”. The town offers beautiful views to the surrounding areas and the Lyme Bay.
The most iconic landmark is the wall of the harbour, known as “The Cobb”.
Although is a beautiful place and we always say that we will spend a few weekends (at least) to visit Lyme Regis and the surroundings, we only managed to visit it a few times in total and only for few hours each time.
First time we stopped there on our way back from Exeter, following a road sign. It was summer and a lovely sunny day, so we enjoyed a little walk around. We even had time to take some nice photos.
Last week I was looking at some old pictures from my camera and find a few from Lyme Regis and decided to paint some.
So, this week I did a little painting inspired by a photo taken by me at Lyme Regis harbour, featuring a red boat with a pirate flag.
