Thank you for your interesting introductions Alan and Paul. I especially like Steve Hall's pastels and followed one of his step-by-step articles in the Artist not so long ago. My attention was caught by Colin Verity's painting of the Lincoln Castle paddle steamer though, as I remember sailing on this when I was (very) young, whenever me and my family travelled across the Humber from Grimsby to Hull; much quicker than going round! This was before the Humber Bridge was built. Great selection of paintings everyone!

His ships are beautifully painted and I can appreciate the skill taken to produce them, even though the subject doesn’t really appeal to me. Was going to post one of his watercolour landscapes, but see Lewis has beaten me to it.

Not to interrupt the thread, but the grandeur of Thomas Moran's ( long passed on now) paintings are worth a look. He's classed as an American but was born in my home town of Bolton. I've seen a couple of his large works up close here in the past in our local art gallery. He actually had one in the White House at one time,

Whilst I appreciate his talent in painting ships, I have to say I do like his landscapes, pity it seems he didn’t paint more, and if I had to chose one for my wall, it would be the last landscape above which I think is lovely.

As you can imagine Tessa I’m a great fan of his ships, then trains etc but I do agree his landscape are really good, I to would love to see more . I did do a google search using his name and landscapes , it came up with mostly ships and the a few landscape . He is definitely in my top ten artists , his skill is amazing.

Yes I also looked and couldn’t find much more than you have shown above. I agree that his ships and trains are brilliant in their detail and I assume accuracy. A very skilful artist who I had not heard of before.

All very appealing paintings. My favorites are also the landscapes. Thankyou, Alan and Dixie.
