A collection of Staithes Group which helped inspire my quilt (mostly contemporary artists)

Ian Burke (above) and Lucy Wilson (below) see the ever present fishing boats as very different objects. Burke's approach seems more worn and the boats are hard-worked while Wilson's seem sereen, soft and romantic.


also Lucy Wilson, and oh look it's those boats again


John Spence Ingall (1850-1936) - Runswick by Moonlight (can anyone spot a particulr colour theme in attracted to? :p)










































Robert Shaw (above, you can tell which ones) - A completely different way of looking at the architecture in a tiny fishing village but captures something about the place perfectly (and it's a really fun style to work in)
