Titanic, ask anyone to name a ship, almost certainly the first name spoken will be Titanic.
The Wilkinson painting was to be symbolic, emotional, to show a port of arrival at the time of day the ship was scheduled to arrive.
Man can overcome nature – his pride is Titanic… and it’s sentimental, too.
It’s about power and hope, optimism and pride, patriotism and progress, technology protecting and projecting our proud and long heritage.

To this painting I bring a combination of skills no other artist can offer.
These include, I’m very familiar with Wilkinson’s work having seem many of the originals in London.
I’ve lived at Plymouth and sailed the waters for over 25 years including winning to many races so I remember, I know the colours, weather, currents, history, intimately.

Looking for best in fine art investments? You’ve found one here.
I wouldn’t normally copy or reproduce another artist’ work.
Why would I want to paint such a well covered story?
Why copy when I can make an original of my choosing?
However this painting is a real challenge and as you know, Titanic is a ship name just about everyone on the planet knows.
I was invited, enticed, I happened to be heading in the general direction of my client when he phoned me.
Maybe fate lead me to my client’s home?
After an amiable dinner and detailed conversation, by 05.00 in the morning and after sharing a bottle of fine vintage port, I’d found a new friend and fellow spirit; I surrendered.
Purchase can be by special arrangement, including payment in easy instalments.
You may find this painting more affordable than you first guessed, but don’t hesitate, I’ll never paint another like Titanic’s, “Plymouth Harbour“.

About Titanic’s, “Plymouth Harbour“:
A very special timeless painting to give you pleasure every time you see it upon your wall, an excellent investment too.
Presenting for discussion, the progress, at my client’s house
The Wilkinson painting :
was to be symbolic, emotional, to show a port of arrival at the time of day the ship was scheduled to arrive.
Man can overcome nature – his pride is Titanic… and it’s sentimental, too.
It’s about power and hope, optimism and pride, patriotism and progress, technology protecting and projecting our proud and long heritage.
Sunshine at 2 pm – also showing that Titanic will be as reliable and clockwork and arrive on time.
It’s the perfect summer’s day, pre-first-world war. Man can overcome nature – his pride is Titanic…and it’s sentimental, too.
Wilkinson painted ships from notes and sketches accumulated from all areas. It is almost certainly no particular ship at all – but is supposed to represent the latest class of battleship and the pride of British technology and sea power. They are is an emblems.
Similarly, the submarine just denotes sea power above AND BENEATH the waves
We think his style at this time was somewhat impressionistic – with a touch of fauvism in the sea! It is certainly a colour dependant painting.
Of some of the details, my client wrote, think the ship behind the wall may be a dreadnought – it looks very wide?
Only one black and white photograph of the painting survived until a descendant of Norman Wilkinson generously loaned it the makers of the last Titanic film.
Unsurprising, they lost it.
What we do have is a photocopy.
Given there is nothing reliable to copy some ‘detective’ work, careful research, is needed.
This painting is not a copy of the original by Norman Wilkinson, that is an impossible +.
These paintings represent our best researched, over 1,000 hours and painted meticulously right down to the last wave top and seagull, even a copy Norman Wilkinson’s signature.
The soul oddity is I include my own signature.
Titanic’s sister ship ‘Olympic‘ carried similar themed paintings, same artist, one of which survives to this day.
Of her other sister, ‘Britannic‘, I’m unsure so you tell me …

Wilkinson’s famous Dazzle Camouflage :
Dazzle?
‘Dazzle’ camouflage was developed and designed by our friend the marine artist Norman Wilkinson.
There is a brief introduction to this subject on my blog ‘Dazzle?‘
Wilkinson’s work which included ‘inventing’ and developing Dazzle Camouflage for the Royal Navy, later gifted at the request of their governments, to the French, Italians and USN.
Dazzle camouflage is still sometimes used today although I see it’s employers don’t usually properly understand the principals that made Wilkinson’s work such a success.
Meanwhile, if you think I can help you in any way don’t hesitate to ask.

The Wilkinson painting was highly symbolic, emotional, to show a port of arrival at the time of day the ship was scheduled to arrive, man can overcome nature – his pride is Titanic…
Once in a life time is enough …?
My studio being ‘Titanic’d, rare sight.
The two Titanic, “Plymouth Harbour” paintings after Norman Wilkinson, very Plymouth.
Tim Maltin and I think he would have used strong somewhat ‘Fauve’ style colours.
That particular style of colouring was fashionable during the Edwardian period and shows in many of the other examples of paintings by Norman Wilkinson as made at that time in his development as a painter.
I play with each painting, trying colour combinations.
This technique [schhh, artist secret…] which I’ve occasionally used before, enables me to experiment freely, without concern, with the colours and forms.
When one looks best I used the same colours on the other so they will be very similar, “down to the last wave top and seagull” my client demanded.
