Look forward to seeing the article Alan, I can see the Seago but also a lot of AB. Love the painting especially those lovely expressive marks in the sky.

Fabulous Alan! I love how your brush marks in the prepared ground almost form the shape of the cloud mass above the barges. Beautifully painted.

Part of a feature on Seago for 'The Artist'. A nautical painting from imagination, but ‘loosely’ based on Seago’s style of painting - working with a similar colour palette and introducing those trademark barges. I’ve prepared my ground with a mix of gesso and chalk, giving me a more absorbent base to work on, adding brush marks to this base mix. Seago used rabbit skin glue and white lead, but we can’t go along that route. Oil on board 40 x50cm
