Re: avatars
That is a painting of a four masted Cape Horner from memory and not a copy that I did, it is water colour on the back of hardboard that looks like Canvas. I painted it many times to make it thick like an oil painting. I took it to sea with me on several voyages and did it in my watch below. So that ship does have some Sea Time in. It is partly obscured in the photo that I took.
Cheers
Brian.
PS Marian , I will be back.
