From his irish homeland back to fishguard

That's absolutely beautiful Michael, it reminds me of the 'fighting temeraire'.

This is super, Michael. (Really like your last few postings.)

Thankyou so much im so glad these few last postings are receiving such beautiful comments.

A lovely story teller of a painting Michael. I like the rough texture you have in the centre of the painting. Is that added before or after painting?

Hi tessa. Thankyou. It was all done in one go but i did paint on a used canvas which did me good service so it was actually wet on dry. Its a method i like.

Great minds think alike, Lynn! i immediately thought of Turner's wonderful sad old ship. So much atmosphere here, Superb rendering of the transparent darks, well done Michael, once again!

As i look at this picture it reminds me more and more of Turners great painting. Its almost a completely unintentional copy minus a few details.

A beauty!
