Death of the Thames Barge by Sylvia Philpot

Love this would look nice in our flat over the Isle of wight!!!

The Thames Barge is anything BUT dead, there are still a lot of them around, thank goodness.

Lovely painting. Like the abstract look. Like Bill has mentioned the Thames barge isn't dead I live on an Island very near the Thames Estuary they are still very much alive I see them often just off the island. Majestic they are too.

This is really fantastic. so many colours, they look great.

I love the impressionistic look. Beautiful painting.

Another lovely one, Turneresque style and theme, evokes just as much emotion too!

Thank you for your comments on my Thames Barge. Yes, I do realize they are still sailing, indeed I remember sailing close to them when I sailed with my father, but their time is past, and that is the sadness.

They are very much alive in say Maldon [and other marinas] on the Blackwater estuary, East Anglia. many are undergoing restoration as well. An interesting image of a Thames Trader. I like what I see.
