Nelson and Pickle

We are in the Nelson and Pickle period [21st October to 4 th November], so I present for you, newly varnished and ready for show here is my very new painting for Peter Goodwin’s new book “Nelson’s Arctic Voyage”, [due out next spring].
Racehorse
HMS Racehorse
HM Sloop Racehorse, North Sea storm, Arctic expedition 1773“.
Subtitle “‘Put Preventer Gammoning upon the Bowsprit’, Friday 17 September.”
The moment is taken directly from the ship’s log book.
H M Sloop Racehorse (detail)
The original is now available for a new home, not such good news is it is so valuable it’s almost in the “if you have to ask you can’t afford it” class.
Better news is it can be acquired by instalments. 

You can discover much more about this very carefully researched and prepared painting, the ship, the people, the adventure, on my web site page https://www.frickers.co.uk/art/marine-art/war-ships/the-trafalgar-collection/hms-racehorse/
Enjoy.
