French landscape Archives - Gordon Frickers Marine Art

Today I was in Cornwall and West Devon.

2 June 2010 by Gordon Frickers

The weather has been typical, rain, strong winds and some calm beautiful days too.
This day started with a swim at 07.00. at Plymouth Central Park pool before going on to the Art Centre at Kelly Bray, Callington in Cornwall (Tel:01579 383523, www.artistsmaterialsonline.co.uk) .

I have been a customer for over 30 years at the Art Centre, formally Westward Art Frames, which I have seen evolve into a thriving business with an excellent selection of materials and probably unbeatable framing service; Jen and Roz who now look after the shop and framing respectively are much better looking than Ian and Darren!

Trafalgar Day – Pickle, advertising agencies, TV, and a marine magazine

21 October 2009 by Gordon Frickers

I can barely keep, up with it!
This is one of those days which reminds me of the debt we owe those who went before us to build our world.
The marine painting “Trafalgar Dawn” still haunts me (available in prints see http://www.frickers.co.uk/marine-art/trafalgar_dawn.html).

I am planning a new piece of marine art, the opposite view.

Today was very 21st century though.

I have had today 3 enquiries about my marine painting which may be of interest and found myself yet again busy with Trafalgar and Admiral Nelson issues.
