Sea Paintings

13 December 2021 by Gordon Frickers

Sea paintings meaning water in all it’s elusive forms.

Sea painting is not easy and I’m sometimes asked “can you teach me to paint the sea?” so stand by, I’m writting a book about this, my life and adventures.

This Beach painting, 38 x 48 cm (15″ x 19″) is available for £550.

Many people regard painting the sea as the ultimate painting challenge.

I’ll include many valuable hints and tips in the new book I’m writing now.

Beware, there is a lot of bad advice readily available in particular on the Internet.

Eleven Eleven

The eleventh hour of the eleventh day …

Lest we forget …

I feel very privileged to have know many veterans and painted for some of them.

Hence this paintings tribute to all who served so we ca be free.

Especially to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice and those who were crippled.

Eye witness, Convoy PQ19 attacked by JU 88’s

My Father and all my uncles served.

We were lucky, they all came home although two were in dreadful health having been prisoners of the Germans and Japanese respectively and a third, marked as dead.
