I’m surprised to see a Pheasant at Scapa Flow. Were they stocked by RN officers wanting some Sport?
I have no idea. However I knew someone would question Pheasants at at Scapa , so checked. Pheasants do inhabit Orkney.

Thanks for commenting. Sorry , I no longer sell my paintings. This is my hobby, I am not a professional artist.I’m 81 and not all that 'mobile', I really don’t need the hassle of sending stuff overseas and everything that goes with it. I have been painting most of my life. I have seen works of most 'popular' Marine artists, so probably seen works by Dews.
stay safe
Jim
ps. If you are anywhere near Auchtermuchty, pop in. I don’t mind selling 'over the counter'.
