Natures Revenge . by Paul (Dixie) Dean

Very cool painting Paul - love the array of cables and the free-form rust patches.

Superb Paul, well painted 😊

Excellent painting Dixie, full of history and character.

A fabulous composition Paul with great detail. Certainly has that sad look of seen better days about it.

Like this Paul. Given damage done by the whaling industry it seems quite fitting that mother nature is consuming that instrument of so much suffering!

Great painting, Paul, love the colours.

Andrew, Stephen, Tessa, Chris, Fiona and Jenny thank you for your much appreciated comments. I agree with you Fiona and had thought of calling the painting Natures Revenge, and could not think of a alternative at the time of posting the painting.

Love it Dixie, the rust is painted so well. The whaling has had dreadful consequences, apparently only Iceland, Norway and Japan still do it. I pity the sailors on ships like this in the frozen southern seas.

Nice sense of age in the old ship, Paul, well painted

Deserves a good title Paul

Excellent work, love your boats.

Lew and Willie many thanks for your kind comments. It was so bad Lew that they build a gangway high over the deck so the gunner could get to the harpoon without beeb washed overboard. All metal welded hull ,built to smash through the waves hence few portholes and loads of drainage ports for the decks etc. Must have been like sailing in a bulldozer or tank and held the water below decks like a fish tank. Tough hard life and a dirty rotten job as well bet many didn’t retire with a good pension and a un damaged body.

Heather and Valerie thank you for your kind comments. Well I’m open to suggestions for the title , Natures Revenge is the only one at the moment, I have a flu head and can’t think beyond my nose at the moment.

Excellent painting! :)

Excellent Paul! Really like the mix of colours and the way you have applied them to represent the erosion of the elements.

Lovely rust colours, Paul

A super old rusting ship Paul. It is really well painted and love all the details and cabling. Another title idea may be ‘Rusting Hulk’ as its purpose was to hunt whales. It is fitting that it is now rusting away.

Wow! This is superb Paul. Fantastic detail on a rusting hulk.

Great painting Paul.

Many thanks, Cathy , Fiona , Helen, David, Spencer and Denise, for your very kind comments.
