Thank you for your help.

Happily we were able to confirm this as an early Gordon Frickers painting, dating to the mid 1980’s when he lived beside the sea iCornwall and produced after his first experience snorkeling in the Red Sea from the beach at Elat, Israel.

One of a series produced at and soon after Gordon Frickers first and so far only visit to Elat.

One wonders what he would produce now, given his work has improved and matured, given the opportunity to return to Elat?
