Admiral’s Cup Yachts
Admiral’s Cup Yachts, a spirited painting, racing at it’s most fun, close, tense, both yachts making best speed.
40.5 x 61 cm (16″ x 24″) Available, 950 £
One of a series of paintings on my website.
This painting is from Admiral’s Cup observations and sketches I made literally made on the heaving spray soaked fore deck of an official press boat.
A dangerous task which I still think was worth the risk.
I still have those remarkable Admiral’s Cup sketches.
To discover more or buy this painting see ‘Admiral’s Cup Yachts’ on my website.
