The new marine painting of superyachts at dusk is progressing steadily as you can see here.
Still not settled is which yachts to include, open to suggestions, do you have any in mind?
I could easily write an entire article on the new developments I found on this vibrant coast where the atmosphere is “anything is possible” and “make your dreams come true here, we will help you”.
The 4th Antibes Yacht Show got the Cote d’Azur summer season under way, the marine painting season plein aire too.
While brokers were off loading or chartering their state of the art, luxury vessels I was looking for innovation and invention.
Super yachts ~ In my previous blog I gave you a youtube video link to the Antibes Yacht Show, April 8th, 2010 http://www.antibesyachtshow.com/intro.asp?lang=EN
Just got back from the Antibes Yacht Show, tired and hungry, after 7 hours on the road, here begins my report.
My objectives were to look for subjects and possible commands for marine painting, assemble information for possible articles and meet interesting people maybe making new friends.
Marine art has occupied much of my time over the past few days while I gradually develop a group of new marine paintings. I’ll tell more of the others over the next few days.
By biggest concern is for the Porto Fino super yacht scene which will show superyachts off Porto Fino at dusk. The sketch here show the basic design.
It’s great to work on a delightful warm evening super yacht scene while outside we have – 4 C, steady snow falling and 2 inches ( 50 cms) of solid compacted ice on the hill into Itzac
A beautiful, rare, icy sunrise today.

I was told, well the village was laid out and built by a Count of Toulouse in the 13th century.
We have had a few fires but not much has changed…

“Sea pictures for sea people”, the first Gordon Frickers brochure for 18 years!
At the super yacht Monaco Yacht Show 2009 several people amused Gordon Frickers by saying, “WOW, collector’s item!” Amused because as you know,
At the Monaco Yacht Show 2009, Port Hercule, Monte Carlo, this was to be my first full working day in the world of superyachts, , meeting super yacht people, excluding the 4 commissions last year.
These remarkable people rapidly changed my perspective of the super yacht world.
For a start, The Monaco Yacht Show perhaps surprisingly has a carbon neutral certificate and advertises this fact with enthusiasm and when one learns more of he Monaco Yacht Show organisers achievements, with justifiable pride.
