I see no ships. This painting is largely made up. The title is an old saying, It`s to do with some one looking for something, usually using their hand just above their eye`s, looking out to sea may be?

>br< This painting is a second go of the one that I painted Plein air at Eynsford. I must admit that when I saw my friends painting, not so much the painting but his composition, That made me want to paint it again roughly in his composition. I`m glad that I did because it has taught me that you don`t have`to copy the subject the way you see it. you can move that tree to there, and that shed to there, and so on. Although I have always known this, I still painted what and how I have seen the subject, but no more.

Ightham Mote


This is an Oast House that farmers dry their hops in. I, as a lad of 4, went every year with my parents to pick hops, then the farmers collected each individual`s baskets full of hops, and we got paid for it. Also we had a lovely holiday into the bargain.
