Dhows.. by Jim Morris

I crossed from Dammam, Saudi Arabia to Bahrain in one of those in the 80s just for the experience, Flew other times for my weekends for beer , bacon and girls on the beach and drove across when we finished the bridge. is this from your photos Jim? I like the shapes and colours.

No, not photo's Derek. I was a member of a model ship site a few years ago and used to build quality model ships from kits and one was a French Xebec similar to the one with striped sails. That gave me the idea. The rest is mainly imagination.

Lovely JIm, sailed on one across the Nile what seems a long time ago now. your painting of them brought back some lovely memories

Lovely painting Jim.
