My Thrifty Family's Repair Shop

My family are known for renovating, upcycling and reusing things in creative ways. My aunt asked me to do something related to Cornwall to renovate this tray.

I focused it on St Austell Bay where they live, using my previous painting of Charlestown to feature in the middle.

It took quite a while and a different way of working for me - I don't usually work so small! I actually really enjoyed doing it though.

Apart from the location of the tin mine engine house, it is based on the geography of St Austell Bay. I used a mosaic style with the two outcrops of land and their house slightly inland.
