Another Thames Barge. I think Mariano will like this one, simply because it`s a seascape. These ships once apon a time plyed the World with cargo from the Thames Estuary. Beautiful boats. There are still a few left owned by private people. You can join up to be a member of one of these and also take holidays on them, as long as you are prepared to do your share of work aboard.

    Vic, this is another wonderful painting. I agree with Azra, you captured the movement of the clouds and sails. I am sure Mariano will love this painting he is an expert on ships. I also like the various shades of color and tone in the water. Well done my friend.

    All the best to you and Rosemary,
    Joan

    Yes Vic,
    I love it;there is same magical about boats
    and the power of the wind trough the sails. A perfect harmony of elements that rest the soul and enriches the mind!
