Ship paintings and maritime scenes old and modern in watercolour oils or acrylic

“I have been drawing and painting ships and nautical scenes since a child, having been brought up and lived all my life on the banks of the River Medina at Cowes on the Isle of Wight, and I have always had an interest in the ships and shipping using the Solent approaching the busy port of Southampton which I watch every day from my waterside studio.

Although I specialise in depicting atmospheric scenes of old shipping, trying to catch the romance of a bygone era, I am equally at home with today’s shipping. My subjects also include the last days of commercial sailing vessels particularly sailing barges and larger sailing ships. Although I like the old days, I also paint modern shipping scenes. Much of my work is in watercolour, but I also produce works using acrylics and oils.

My paintings have gone to many private collections, including those of William H. Miller the American Cruise Lecturer, and author of over 60 books on Ocean Liners and Shipping subjects, to Dame Ellen MacArthur, as well as a commission for a painting and prints for the Maritime Propulsion Journal 'The Motor Ship', the painting being commissioned by them to commemorate their 85th year of publication”
