50 th anniversaries

 

With on the sale of two more large copies of the famous “Roaring Forties” and the dramatic events in the 50th Golden Globe race sailing now, I though I’d better update the website page.

Roaring Forties reduced to 300 pixels

~ “for a brief inglorious moment there was me & two masts in sight & nothing but ocean in any direction for 2,000 miles“.

Robin Knox-Johnston wrote that in a letter to me a few months after our first meeting, he and his wife wished to commemorate his 50 th birthday in style. They did.

“Roaring Forties”, this glorious print is 93.5 MB

Soon after, we designed the painting he has named “Roaring Forties”, together over a lunch at his home beside the river Thames at Putney, London.

“The Iconic “Roaring Forties”, few paintings more clearly illustrate the power of the sea…and man”, Dick Durham, Editor, Yachting Monthly.
