Brilliant painting Alan. Initially I thought it was a photo as you have got such excellent detail into your work.

Unusual to see a painting of ships in dry dock, makes for an interesting composition, and I love those rusty reds and ochres- very clever and accomplished.

I love this! My late father served in the Navy for 22 years from 1946-68, and he would have looked at scenes like this many, many times.

Alan has written up his painting recollections from his life at sea in the 1950s for us - look out for it in the tips & techniques area as part of our Jubilee celebrations in May.
