Brilliant paintings of boats Paul.... somehow they show movement too. I love the colours you have used...

Another good one, love those old steam boats like steam trains they somehow seem to be alive.

Thank you for your kind comments folks. Paul you are correct Challenge is still around and is one of the Dunkirk little ships. I do agree with you Robert there is something quit special about old steam vehicles, ships etc.

Such superb detail in this one, Paul! Love tugs! We have tugs in the Grand Harbour regularly, and one deliberately sunk for us to dive, called Tug 2!!

Thank you Thalia, you make me quite jealous having such a beautiful place as the Grand harbour to watch the ships etc. Such a beautiful place.
