Wow what a great masterly painting ... and over just 2 days, superb.

An excellent painting Michael and two days well spent. I know what you mean about concentrating on something other than the awful news, and art is one very good way.

Superb painting Michael - reminds me of those by the Wapping Group of artists. I particularly like the reflections on the water and the contrast in detail between the tug and the background ships.

Superb Michale and a brilliant way to distract yourself. Like you I spent time in the RAF and I think the knowledge we gained doesn’t help when we have such globule threats.

Very accomplished work Michael. Art definitely gets us through the hard times. Can’t fathom Mr. P’s sad mind.

Lovely - fantastic sky and light effect on the sea (plus of course the amazing boats/ships)

Lovely nautical painting Michael. Magnificent sea and sky.

Beautiful painting Michael - the light struggling through a very intense sky is very effective.

Lovely. A hint of Turner.

I love it. I think JMW Turner would approve.

Painted over the last two days to move my brain away from the awful world situation. This imagined scene was created to portray a sense of peace and hope. The sun will rise! 20x 15 ins on board
