Winston Churchill stated: " The destinies of two great empires seemed to be tied up on some God damned things called LST's." Over 1150 were built, kind of important ships that received little glory, yet did a big and diversified job.. Make my request for your efforts depicting  an image and the role of the LST. Yes, I rode 3 of them in the Vietnam war.

Sorry,I no longer do commissions. This is the only one I’ve ever painted, and it’s part of a Diptych which is in the Russian Arctic Convoy Museum at Loch Ewe

Fine picture, they were busy ships in all their rolls. Thanks for the posting your work, all of it and especially this, you must have covered most of the ships of WW2 and many under sail. Couple of photos of USS LST 44 on the net, your work portrays her better.

Should have said, It is supposed to be 'Off Gourock' on the river Clyde, an assembly and dispersal point forConvoys.

These are really fantastic! Do you sell any of your works? Are you familiar with the work of John Steven Dews? He has some beautiful maritime paintings,oil on canvas, and there are a few of his works in my local maritime museum.
