After cropping out some detail photos of ships on my latest paintings, I decided to make some work with them as a subject using the images for composition. Intending to paint, I rummaged through some surfaces and found these four, small primed wood panels and ended up making drawings on them instead.

I have around a thousand photos just of ships on the horizon, cargo ships, tugboats, dredgers, container ships, as they pass me by blinking in the distance. They always draw the eye as they seemingly slowly drift along.

I think my fascination with them comes from growing up in GY, where, when turning a corner, you are often faced by a gigantic ship in port dwarfing the surrounding buildings. I still love that sight.

Charcoal on braced birch panel, 15 x 20 x 2.5cm, fixed. Ready to hang, unframed with neat bare wood edges.
