Norseman 1881

Heres a  different view of Norseman which I painted last year. This angle I feel shows the beauty and power of Ogden Goelets great schooner off to good effect. Watch this space for a similar view of the Yacht America currently on the easel.

Im also currently working on a couple of seascapes the first shows the surf at  Praa Sands and the second the beach at Priory Bay Seaview.
