How’s Your Intelligence?

17 September 2020 by Gordon Frickers

Intelligence ?

Espionage, misinformation, fake news, tragedy, bungling by the British government, are all part of the story behind this little know dramatic frigates sea fight.

“Frigates, Treasure Ships” 30 x 45 cm (12″ x 18″), £6,000.

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.

Live on board?

15 September 202015 September 2020 by Gordon Frickers

“Have you ever lived on one (a boat or square rig ship) for a long period of time?” I was asked today by film maker Frank Muller.

Thought it might be fun to share my answer with you which reminds me to restart writing the requested book about my life and work.

Charlestown, the port, ‘October Evening’, Cornwall available as a fine art print.

I’ve owned boats most of my life, built quite a few, repaired many more too.

I’ve not lived onboard for long periods.

I don’t really fancy that unless there is a good reason.

It’s a bit cramped, fun for a while.

Cornish Scones

5 September 2020 by Gordon Frickers

Scones are quick and easy to make; so I’m told.

That’s not quite my experience with making scones …

These, my third attempt turned out as a variation on Rock Cakes …

Maybe to much egg used?

Anyone know how ‘perzacerly’ how to make real Cornish Scones, which flour and other ingredients …?

Job Satisfaction

“Gordon, My Father received his painting of Agapenor today and is absolutely delighted. Many thanks for sending it over. Kind Regards”

“My father was a retired Chief Engineer with the Blue Funnel line and the ‘Agapenor’ was his first ship so it is lovely to see.

Love Schooners ?

1 September 20201 September 2020 by Gordon Frickers

Painting schooners is always a pleasure for me, more so in this instance.

The beautiful working Schooners Racing, Rhoda Mary and Katie Clewett commissioned by Frank Trebilcock, a descendant of the families who built the three renowned vessels two schooners and a sloop.

This painting is now owned with pride by his son and definitely not for sale although fine art prints are still available.

26 August 202026 August 2020 by Gordon Frickers
