Love the cranes Paul, they add vertical interest as well as having the horizontals of the boats.

Super painting, Dixie, with great detail of the working dock. The cranes add so much to the realism. Bri

Thank you Katy and Brian for you comments they are appreciated. I agree about putting the cranes in Brian , they give hight to the scene and extend the clutter up into the skyline. I have looked at hundred of old dock land photos band I’m still amazed at the amount of cranes etc on the dock and skyline .

Many thanks Jim , it’s surprising how memories are triggered by paintings and photos . So many every day scenes have been lost due not people thinking they were not important or interesting enough.

Brilliant Paul, you are so good at painting these dockland scenes!!

Posted by Linda Drury on Mon 26 Apr 08:52:32

Brilliantly portrayed Paul, great times.

Thank you Linda and Carole for your kind comments. I don’t know about you Linda but I think we paint better when we have a good feel for the subject matter. You are right Carole there were some good time in the 1960s particularly as a teenager when you thought the world was yours.

Let times get back alive, and if it is only for the time of painting, well done Paul!

Thank you Mark and Eknim for you kind comments. You are correct Eknim when painting these old scenes it does feel like you are putting like into them .

24x32 cm watercolour. Set in 1962 when London was still one of the busiest ports in the world . Hundreds of ships would come from all over the works and take British made goods away to others countries. My passion is the old ship and dockside equipment.

I have sketched most of my life on and off I became interested in watercolour following a spinal injury whilst in hospital but did not follow it up. My eldest daughter bought me a beautiful wooden box set of half pans about twenty five years ago I dabbled on and off until retirement twelve years…
