4 February 20214 February 2021 by Gordon Frickers

Yet again the topic of slavery crossed my path today so permit me to share my response with you please.

Let us put the record straight and be proud of the British record on slavery.

The British have an awesome record regarding slavery.

The video gives some worthwhile balance to the topic.

Word of Mouth?

4 November 20204 November 2020 by Gordon Frickers

“Word of Mouth“, a Nelson and Trafalgar painting well worth the price and more as an “after dinner” subject.

The Royal Navy’s most famous schooner HMS Pickle, described by Nelson as “ubiquitous”, is according to Cornish oral tradition sailing into legend.

Leadership?

30 October 202030 October 2020 by Gordon Frickers

What is Leadership?

There are to many books and videos on this subject, many misleading.

Most of those about Nelson fail despite frequent references to his leadership, to explain why Nelson was a great leader and how his character was moulded.

This painting, one of my ‘Nelson and Trafalgar’ series has never been pubilcly exhibited, a great opportunity for someone.

A classic painting, a timeless subject, any reputable gallery should be delighted to offer you this painting for this price… a sound investment which you can buy direct from me, the artist.

As if that is not enough, this action this dramatic frigate action also caused Spain to enter the Napoleonic Wars as allied to France.
