Beautifull Autumn day here yesterday in mid October

Even better result as the couple who live in that house with the large apex walked over and bought it

Great to have such a wonderfull hobby that pays for itself plus funds the Sat night takeaway

Good news on this one , the couple who bought it have now requested two much bigger paintings of their property from other angles in the garden , apparently I’ve been told money isn’t a problem

Ho ho ho - they might regret saying that later! just joking, you’re a man of integrity and will give them some beautiful paintings at a fair price for sure.

Just starting to paint a wave on an old panoramic box canvas I’ve had kicking around for years

work in progress will post the finished job later

A long painting like that will be looking excellent!

Here is my larger worked up version of the barges sitting in one of my hand made frames

I love this painting, but small point of order… are they not sail boats?

[nigelandjan]

Yes they are sailing barges but have engines to help at times of need , if you look at the right hand one you will see a couple of small figures to give an idea of scale ,, they really are huge when your next to them

Yes they are sailing barges

A sailing barge is a kind of barge (a shoal-draft flat-bottomed boat) propelled by sails. Traditional types of sailing barges include:

• Dutch barge^[1] is a traditional flat-bottomed shoal-draught barge, originally used to carry cargo in the shallow Zuyder Zee and the waterways of Netherlands.^[2]
• Scow, derived from the Dutch "schouw",^[3] historically in common use in the American Great Lakes and other parts of the U.S., in southern England, and in New Zealand. By 1848 scows were being rigged for sailing using leeboards or sliding keels.^[3] They were also used as dumb barges towed by steamers.^[3]
• Thames sailing barge, a type of commercial sailing boat,^[4] once common on the River Thames in London. The flat-bottomed barges with a shallow draught and leeboards, were perfectly adapted to the Thames Estuary.
