A developing painting.

It was our was intention to show something of the danger met with courage, persistence, patience and fine seamanship, encountered by the men who worked quietly to make so much that is good in our modern world, the merchant seamen.

My client asked me to push the limits of my abilities, for a dramatic painting.

M V Chupra, detail 2 20.09.17

Drawn as requested by my client, J. Leeson and son, a series developed of concept sketches, 11 in all.

You can see the images and developing painting by following the ‘Further reading’ link below.

“Chupra” is intended to give us an impression of what sailors can and do face at sea. Conditions most landlubbers find hard to believe but we know happens.

The evidence is incontrovertible.

You can view the series and some of our notes via the further Reading link below.
