Marine Paintings

My interest in marine subjects goes back to a time when, as a creative director, I was responsible for promotional art work for Camper & Nicholson yacht builders, Ratsey & Lapthorne sail makers, and Jack Holt yachting equipment etc. Also having a father in law who was a retired naval commander cemented my affection for the subject.

As with my other categories of subject, these paintings are started with my dark paint method using a cotton rag to reveal light through a mix of Burnt Sienna and French Ultramarine oil paint to kick start the dynamic effect I look for.

A Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,

Butting through the Channel in the mad March days

With a cargo of Tyne coal,

Road-rails, pig-lead,

Firewood, iron-ware, and cheap tin trays.
