Painted by an occasional visitor to 'The Seaside' maybe? The Dinghies are, in my opinion, impressions of boats by someone who has sparse knowledge of Dinghies or even boats, or an Artist who was not very observant of details. Only my first reaction, but how is the standing rigging tensioned? No rigging screws or lanyards that I can see. Any main Halyards or are they unrove for some reason? The right hand Dinghy, is it clinker without ribs apart from the two under the thwart?

Could be the East coast, painted from memory perhaps by a happy holiday maker...:)

I think you are correct.
Unfortunately I ran into some problems and decided it best to delete it.
Apologies.

Fully understood. My remarks were just first my impressions really, not criticism of the painting. Someone's happy memories painted after a visit somewhere East Anglia way perhaps?(y)
