Vegaskip Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share #280 Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, ChadB said: Wonderful as usual Jim! How long have you been painting for? Chad I'm 77, so probably about 70 years. I retired in 2006 so I've been able to paint a lot more since then. The last 5 years have been a bit more serious, with exhibitions, book covers and illustrations. I no longer take pics to Galleries, with a view to sales, some don't even look at them., they are more interested in Highland Cattle and abstract. I'm not rich, but we live reasonably comfortably. I sell the odd painting now and then. I'm too old for the hassle of running a business. Here is today's offering. Two Royal Navy Cutters chasing a French Frigate late 18th century.
