When he first painted the scene he was unhappy with it and did not number the work for his records. In his diary of that day he commented: ‘6.10.93 Porthcurnick – Marvellous skies all morning. Tried to capture the drama in two small sketches. Very frustrating’. Thankfully he gave the small painting, known as a pochade to the artist Grace Gardner who had admired it in his studio and it was donated to the Falmouth Art Gallery Collection as part of the Grace Gardner Gift.
