Margate from West Bay – painting

This original painting and view of Margate by Nick Kelly Is taken a little further along the coast at a place called West Bay.

The promenade is a good place to see the seaside town from a distance, taking in the harbour arm and the buildings along the seafront. 

Growing up in Whitstable Nick’s always had a fondness for the sea, developing his artistic style.

Many years were spent travelling and working in the Middle East, but in later years he settled back in Whitstable where he now paints and writes. 

Nick has a particular love of figures placed in a landscape. ‘I’m interested in the relationship between humans and the environment, from the single walker enjoying peace and tranquillity to the mass of people gathering on the beach on a warm summer day.’

His work can also been seen at galleries in Whitstable, Westgate and Margate. 

This original painting is painted in acrylic on a 4 cm deep edged canvas, the work is unframed, but is ready to hang.
