The big ship sails.

Ah I remember the song from school! A marvellous piece of artwork Paul.

Yes remember the song too. Great composition Paul and beautifully executed.

Excellent Paul, you’ve not overloaded it with distracting colours everywhere! One for the wall I feel…

Excellent Paul, I love everything about it. Beautifully done.

Good one Paul

A super Painting!! I remember the song too!!

This is beautiful work Paul. You paint ships so well and always manage interesting surroundings.

Thank you Carole,Chris, Alan, and Denise for your very kind comments. I did not want to loose the focus of the ships Alan , hence the subdued landscape and the very dark ship and tugs. I did think the song would bring up some memories for a few people hope you enjoyed it, it not in my hard and is driving me to distraction.

Many thanks Heather, David and Carole for you kind comments, we must have been posting at the same time .

Very good indeed Paul, the background perspective is excellent.

Really good Paul, one of your best.

Thank you Marjorie and George for you very kind comments.

This is an excellent painting Dixie with great detail, and a feeling of power with the big ship heading out to sea. As Alan says, one for the wall!

Excellent as always Paul, and I remember the song !! Reminds me of the days we used to go to New Brighton and Wallasey.

An exciting watercolour Paul

Thank you Tessa, Richard and Beatrice for you comment they are very much appreciated.

I agree with all the comments above Paul. You have the ability to capture the day, the age and nostalgia in your paintings.

A grand painting Paul, your love of ships really shows in your painting.I often wondered what the ally-ally-oh, referred to, now this song is stuck in my head.

Thank you Maureen for your kind comment.I have to agree that bloody tune is driving me mad as well
