The Sinking by Paul Rawnsley

The Sinking
Comments

This is a powerful scene Paul, placing the birds agauinst that background works really well, love the swell of the sea and the detail in the birds

the sky and sea are very good, Paul, but the bird - it's size and placement - is a stroke of genius

First of a series of canvasses painted from images of WW1 with nature giving the only colour to the otherwise stark black and white imagery of 'total war'. In 'The Sinking' I have depicted to demise of the HMS Queen Mary during 'The Battle of Jutland' on 31 May 1916. In the foreground glide my favourite British seabirds- Fulmars.
