Great boat Paul lovely painting 🖼

Thank you Spencer , Anne, Denise , Neil, Heather and Sarah for your very kind comments. It particularly rewarding that you like this painting as it taken me a week to paint it normally I would do it in two or three hours. I can no longer pinch grip with my thumb and forefinger and have needed to experiment at holding the brush differently. I hold it between my first and middle finger, it time consuming and very wobbly but I’m getting used to it . One benefit is that it has slowed me down and I need to concentrate on doing a simple line etc, personally I think I’m painting better well lets hope so. Better than not being able to paint I think.

Another beauty Paul,you paint some lovely nautical scenes,

Posted by Chris Glassonbury on Sun 15 May 19:43:07

Thank you Chris , nautical scenes my favourite, and at the moment my comfort zone. I think I have said it before I get seasick on a duck pond, but can’t resist a boat painting.

23x32 cm watercolour . A imaginary scene of steam trawler in harbour at low tide, there are very few of these boats still, afloat non are used for fishing these days . What looks like trellis work on the is there to protect the hull and guide the nets up the side of the trawler . A small sail is set when trading to give the boat a little steerage and Driffield it along towing the net. One hundred of these vessels put to sea each day from British fishing ports . Registration number and name are fictitious.

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…
