Cod and Lobster - painting

This charming oil painting captures the beauty of Staithes, North Yorkshire with its quaint cottages tumbling down the hillside.

Titled "Cod and Lobster", it features the iconic pub of the same name, known for its delicious crab sandwiches and refreshing pints.

Created by artist Tracy McKenna, this painting was done en plein air from the beach during her stay in Staithes with a group of fellow artists. Since the 1800s, artists have been drawn to this picturesque village for its stunning landscape and the annual arts festival is held there.

Born in Cyprus, Tracy grew up in a northern mill town on the edge of the Pennines. She studied Art and Design at Nelson and Colne College and then moved on to the Arts University at Bournemouth where she graduated with a BA (Hons) and a High Commendation from the RSA. 

Since then she has qualified as a teacher of Art and Design.

Inspiration is never far away as she recently moved to Penryn in Cornwall to be closer to the sea, one of her favourite subjects to paint, and now has a new purpose studio in which to work.

This original work is painted in oils on canvas board and comes in a simple white wash finished wooden floating tray frame without glass, ready to be displayed.
