Launch of the QE2 into the Clyde

I’ve just spent a pleasant time looking through your gallery Mike, you have a wonderful eclectic mix of subjects which is refreshing. Your landscapes are full of atmosphere and you have that skill of managing to create a variety of excellent greens....which I envy! I like your inspiration for most of your paintings which is as personal gifts or experiences and I think that comes through in your paintings. I love this one, you say it’s tight but it shows your skill in drawing with your brush.

It turned out that she was actually at the launch so the painting brought back many memories for her. For me I think the work is rather tight and overdone. However this does not matter as the lady in question was pleased with my interpretation of the occasion.e
