Hello everybody!

Once again I have been remiss in keeping my monthly update up to date!

My apologies for this.

In future I intend to add new items and news as they become available. I have been busy producing large art works for customers and do not always get permission to show them on my site. So there are long gaps where I have no new work to show. So please watch this space! I do welcome comments and, of course, orders! So please keep in touch and let me know any suggestions for new work to add to the collection.

I have been commissioned to do some non-maritime work which will keep me busy but I have just completed a fascinating commission for a customer of Titanic arriving at New York!



This shows Titanic as she might have appeared had she missed the iceberg. It is the second of a commissioned set of three paintings by a customer. He wished to have a depiction of the ship in a hypothetical setting at the end of her ill-fated maiden voyage. It has been an enjoyable experience getting the background right etc. The painting measures four feet by two. If you have any comments do please let me know.

I am attending the British Titanic societies convention at Liverpool 0n saturday April 12th. Please come and introduce yourself if you can make it. It is one of the few times that I can meet with many of my customers and it is especially nice to meet with new ones.

Also on the news front there is a particularly interesting exhibition just started at the American Museum which is situated on the outskirts of my old hometown of Bath, Somerset. The exhibition showcases Titanic memorabilia and White Star Line furnishings from the Olympic and Britannic and highlights how the tragedy affected America.

I have some of my merchandise in the shop and was able to look around the exhibition which I found most absorbing. It stretches over three rooms and is well worth a visit. Apart from this the museum houses a unique collection and is set in a breathtaking location. Add the many other attractions of Bath just a mile away and you have the makings of a great weekend break!

Again, let me know your views and also your comments if you are able to go.

That about winds things up for now so goodbye and talk to you soon!
