Wallis brought naive illustration into a whole other realm when his wife died and he decided to give up fishing and take up painting on old bits of drift wood. His concept of a working fisherman town in Cornwall is wonderfully playful, but at the same time keeps all the facts that proves his paintings were from experience, not imagination.
