I really like the third on down Marjorie. I haven’t heard of Julius Olsson I’ll have to look him up.

I like the Sorolla painting, didn’t recognise it as one of his - I’ve been studying his wet in wet brush strokes on this one - interesting for me anyway… perhaps I should get out more!

A new one for me also Paul! Some of these bear a resemblance to your own nautical work - that’s a compliment!

Thank you Alan I did take it as a compliment.  As soon as I noticed his painting I liked them and did think they were similar to my paintings, but didn’t want to compare them myself . His website is quite good and he explains how he became interested in ships etc , also some very nice paintings that are not maritime related.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Some proper boats there!  Old work-horse vessels for the most part, so much more fun to draw (as I used to do and have lost every single one of my drawings!) than more modern ships: though they have their place too.   The Hokusai has always been a remarkable painting - you know it's a highly stylized rendition of the sea, but it still has huge power - its strength, contrasted with the fragility of the boats, is almost intimidating; a painting of which I never tire.  PS - I do admire painters who can make water look wet - as Sorolla does, for example.  Lesley Dabson, who used to show her work here, is another: I've never found it comes naturally to me; I think I can manage trees, grasses, landscape generally, I'm sure I could paint a mountain - we just don't have a large variety of those on the Isle of Wight - but though surrounded by sea, I've never yet been satisfied with my attempts to capture it: still, if you WILL compare yourself with the best, you ARE likely to be disappointed!

My apologies to Marjorie as I failed to add the artist she recommended, unfortunately I became unwell and totally forgot about the thread but I will add him to the list for a future post. Next weeks artists are George Ethelbert Walsh and David Curtis .
