Impressive work Dawn!

That's a really good action landscape Dawn.

Excellent, really, really good

Love it Dawn, well done 👍

Magical!

Beautifully done. Sadly lots of these boats are been decommissioned and replaced by inshore craft .

I really like this one Dawn. Really well done.

Looks like a Tamar class lifeboat to me - unsinkable and self righting. Very sad to see them decommissioned. Lovely painting!

I went to Filey every summer as a child and was fascinated by the tractor bringing the boat in. Great painting bringing back memories.

Having just spent a week on the East coast in a small town called Filey, a place we have visited countless times and a home from home. I found out that the lifeboat on this painting has been decommissioned and Filey is left with an inshore rescue boat. This painting is taken from a photograph i took a few years ago when we watched the great vessel come home after a call out to see. Filey has no harbour and so depends on a tractor to pull it up the slipway. Happy memories.
