Another Thames Barge. I never tire of painting these beautiful Barges. This one I think is called The May. It was acquired by Tate and Lyle the Sugar people. They purchased it in 1964. There is another barge that I want`to paint soon.

  1. My word, this is gorgeous Vic. Very obvious that you enjoy painting these and I really like how you have added the seagulls, which helps give it movement - lovely work.

    I`m glad that I don`t get anywhere near as many comments as our Hilda gets, it would drive me insane, I don`t know how she does it, do you my friend? Thank you Joan for your usual great comment. It is great to get nice comments isn`t it? I have another Barge to paint Joan. I hope to start it this afternoon. I have got to hang around for the postman-Goodies are coming. All the best Joan.
