My latest watercolour painting. Partial desaturated version.

The barquentine, 'Waterwitch' (built 1871) gets into trouble leaving the mouth of the river Tyne. Struggling against the angry power of nature as a sudden storm rolls in from the north sea..

Behind is a top gallant schooner, also being beaten back.

In the background, is the red painted 'Groyne' lighthouse (1882), of South Shields.

I've used two Victorian ship photos, as reference for details of the two ships.

Bockingford rough, 10" x 7"
140lb blue-tinted watercolour paper.

The artist in you may have slept a long time, but is coming out now brilliantly! And the more you do, the more experience you get. It is so relaxing.....you forget all your pains and troubles when you're absorbed by painting! Congrats!

Thank you very much, Riet.
Anybody can press a button on a camera. But to create an artwork, with just a paint, a brush, and paper? That's another league.

And of course, you are right - I've found it is a fine and pure therapy, for severe, never-ending, chronic pain.

Kind regards and thanks.

Indeed you have captured the power of the sea, the struggle of sailors. Brilliant and powerful; storms at sea are something I know a little about, having spent a few years of my life out there.
