Thanks for that Lou. I've never been up that way, in fact I haven't been on the West coast at all unfortunately. So the location for the painting is made up from memories of films or TV programs of the area.

I've  still got lots more paintings I can post. It is really nice to get comments and 'meet' people from all over.

here is the watercolour sketch for the Mellon painting which is acrylic on canvas.

Thanks, she was 'over the moon' when she got it.

Thanks Jason. The sweepers you mention were a bit after my time. It was mostly 'Tons' in my day, and they. Would be based at HMS LOCHINVAR (Port Edgar) opposite Rosyth.

Her is another with the Edinburgh sky line.

These are the ship served on by Edward George Bourne, (stoker).
L to R HM Ships Iron Duke, Galatea, Icarus, Centurion, and in the distance Indefatigable in which he was unfortunately killed at Jutland.
This was a commission for a lady who wanted it for her children, his descendants. The skyline of Edinburgh in the background

Keeping in the same time frame of the War of 1812, here is a minor war vessel with sheer legs rigged, replacing her main mast. Lots of the books I have for reference have old line engravings of this sort of thing and I've tried to keep the flavour.

Hi Graham. Thanks for commenting. They were both of 'my era'. RN personel had a soft spot for the 'Shack' , they used to drop mail to us.

Here HMS Daring recieved her drop, somewhere in the Indian Ocean

A little change. Two Maritime aircraft of days gone by

Hi Nils, while looking up reference material for this one, it was interesting to read that in places there were deep channels very close to the shore. With photos of then so close you could almost lean out and touch them. I just had to put them in.

Have a Tot on me!.

Thank you Zach, I look forward to hearing from you.

meanwhile, back in The North West coast of the US.

Thank you both for commenting, and yes I do sell some paintings, although I don't go out of my way to advertise. I'm too old for a load of hassle packing and posting especially international stuff. I sent a painting of a B29 to Hawaii. It was supposed to be first class airmail and take 3/4 days. Took a few days under 3 months and the tube it was in was folded in the middle.
