Mia this is superb , the boat is particularly well drawn and painted. I must look up the history of the area as I love old harbours and boats.

Before there was a harbour in Blankenberge (Belgium) where I live, fishermen’s boats had a flat bottom (no keel) and had to be dragged on the beach. I used a waterproof marker and added a very limited background to accentuate the shape of the boat. All comments are as usual very welcome. Thanks Mia.
