This is a wonderful water colour painting of the Parrog (Newport) from artist Graham Hadlow. Almost Turneresque........
Graham has greatly simplified the housing along the Parrog shore, but in doing so he represents quite closely what the scene might have looked like around 1820, when Mistress Martha was in her prime........
The rather modern boats give the game away, but it's a lovely landscape painting anyway.
By the way, Graham kindly provided the paintings for the dust jackets of my hardback books of Pembrokeshire Folk Tales, back in the day.
