A lovely painting Brian , I have seen several photos and painting over the years ,and watched with interest as these two lovely boats , there were three have deteriorated. I like how you have depicted then and the state of decay.

Lovely work, Brian. These old boats have great charm, and a sense of untold tales about them. Beautifully drawn and painted.

Like you Paul I find a certain beauty in the way things deteriorate and as Lewis says it makes you wonder about their past. Thank you for your generous & encouraging comments Carole, Faye, Heather & Christine.

Great subject beautifully painted, always nice to see someone rendering boat hulls well.

Wonderful characterful painting of these old guys Brian, is that a tree sapling growing on one of the boats?

Thank you Thalia, I appreciate that. Cheers Paul, having seen how you render boats I regard that as a great compliment. Yes Fiona, it is a sapling. It shows just how long these boats have been idle. Thank you so much Anne, anne & David.
