A salty yarn

17 February 2022 by Gordon Frickers

Drake and the Spanish Armada, a twist on a famous sea yarn for you.

Did Francis Drake play on?

When at Plymouth #Drake was given the news of the imminent approach of the mighty Spanish Armada did he finish his game of bowls?

Many people think the tale is unlikely.

But.

Plymouth Emigration Depot

18 July 2021 by Gordon Frickers

‘Plymouth Emigration’, I thought I’d finished this mysterious moonlight painting.

How many times have you watched a full moon rise, how many painters, photographers and film makers have attempted to capture those elusive moon beams and the so subtle colours of a night sky?

Moon light, zephorial light, attempted by many including some of the great masters, the great majority, unsuccessfully.

Recently, while painting moonrise over the ‘Haut Medoc and the Gironde Estuary’, ideas, inspiration began to form.

I found myself pondering a major repaint of my already applauded ‘Emigration, Plymouth’.

A question formed :

“is it possible to take ‘Plymouth Emigration’ to a new level or will I risk ruining ‘Plymouth Emigration’?”

My wish is that someone buys ‘Plymouth Emigration’, this historic painting for the people of Plymouth City.

Probably not, after all the city of Chester missed out with the magnificent ‘Port of Chester 1863’ which went elsewhere to a private buyer.

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

“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 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.
