Port of Chester

Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Steady progress maintained on this painting while working on others as well. FS_prog_IMG_5159_d.jpg

Plus suffering various interruptions unexpected visitors (a pleasure) PC crashing for a day and a half (not pleasure) and chasing possible new work.

I wonder if you, kind reader, can help with photos and history of HM Submarine “Unique“, or her sister boats, or at least point me in the right direction?
