6658. Cumberland Basin

I have been aware of this piece by Amy Hutchings, a Bristol artist, for at least a couple of years, but until recently I haven’t got up close and paid attention to it, which is my loss really. The line drawing piece was originally much pinker, but some of the colour has bleached out by many days of sunshine on this exposed spot.

The beautifully illustrated piece depicts a scene from the floating harbour and incorporates several local landmarks as well as some small boats. Amy Hutchings has a lovely touch, and although I am not aware of other street art pieces, she has a fabulous Instagram account which is well worth a visit. I am kicking myself that it has taken me so very long to acknowledge this perfect piece of Bristol art in the middle of Cumberland Basin.
