I love your knowledge of boats like this Dixie and the way you give us the background of your painting. Really good and adds to the enjoyment of looking at.

A4 in A3 mount water colour of a Hastings trawler recovered after the days work . Part imaginary, the figure on the boat is of the from this trawler , I was amazed at his hight but it’s in proportion. The trawlers need to be launched each sailing and then recovered and taken up above the high waterline for safety, hard work after a day out working . Very tough sturdy boats build for the seas and the recovery and launching procedures.
