New Marine Art

After an extended period of commercial illustration work I have managed to slip in a couple of pieces of my own.

The first is a study of a topsail schooner off the Yorkshire east coast and the second a foreshortened study of Tower Bridge in London which will eventually be reinterpreted into a larger painting. This was intended to be a try out for texture and colour values.

Other than a slight warming up of the colour values of the bridge I am happy with the layout.
