This brilliant. As are all the painting in your gallery. I'm only sorry I didn't spot is before. Great works, a real treat.

Great nostalgia - I'm not even a royalist, but I do think if you're going to have a monarchy you've got to damn' well pay for it properly; and the scrapping of the Britannia was criminal. Lovely painting, which brought back a lot of memories, living as I do on the Isle of Wight, where Britannia was a frequent visitor.

A lovely piece! I could feel the flags flying in the breeze.

This holds very special memories for me. I remember my late father taking my brother and I to Cardiff docks to see it, We were very young but I can remember him sketching it from varios angles. Sadly my father and the sketches have gone, but I think he might have been pleased with this one. It's Pen and watercolour washes 18 by 24ins approx. Van Goch colours. I realise that the yacht could not be this far up the thames but anything is possible in the artists world! Thanks for taking a look, your comments would be most welcome. .
