Steamships and sail

Commissioned work has rather taken up my time recently, given the unusual times we are living through and the diminished state of the worlds economy I am grateful for the work.

Prior to the latest commission I had completed a number of marine paintings in the hope that this years exhibition season might not be completely eliminated. More a hope than an expectation at the present time.

Two of the works are of steam merchant ships in the 1920s based of photographic records from the family archive. They are effectively a pair in that they depict a ship taking on timbers in Canada and discharging the cargo in Boston harbour. The others are sailing vessels all of the works are painted in acrylic on stretched canvas.
