Here's a link to a marine artist whose work I admire.

On friday morning I posted a thread about yacht art

it sank like a stone

too many links apparently for old sailors fingers to click on

so here is just one

I downloaded some of the images from the web and put them in a gallery here -

I would love some more urls of sailing and seascape art from fellow sailors

accompanied by opinions - good or otherwise

I have a wtaercolour on my wall at home - it is of yachts pulled up on a foreshore. In many ways it is a lovely composition - but the bloke who painted it does not understand boats

he has decided to miss out on the beachine legs on the long keeler and the rigging is wrong

drives me crazy every time I look at it

Incidentally, I was given one of those electronic photoframes for christmas - the snaps of family life soon wore a bit thin but having sailing art on the carousel is lovely.

PS - anyone can now comment on films on the website and I am slowly moving them all back to youtube -

For me the evocative art of Fid Harnack et al that graced the covers of Yachting Monthly back when MG was editor. Also the work of Charles Pears shows a total understanding of yachts and seascapes, especially those used as railway posters. http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/yourpaintings/paintings/cruising-14067
