Good day to everyone who has found this site. I am at present a painter in watercolours , gouache , acrylics and occasionally coloured pencil. My picture framer refers to me as the ‘boatman ‘ which gives a good pointer to the fact that Marine subjects are my forte. Mainly I paint sailing craft, particularly from the turn of the 20th century, i.e. sailing barges, fishing boats and the occasional steamer.. and indeed have sold a number over the last two years as well as undertaking some special commissions This site is very much in preparation but hope to have it running in its entiety over the next couple of weeks.
