A Painting just finished - something a bit different to the usual this time, with one of my occasional forays into maritime art.

HMS Dreadnought sets sail (metaphorically) in 1905. It was a time when we weren't all plagued by self-doubt about our role in the world. In the background is a relic of an earlier age. It was also a time when the Royal Navy still had some of its great wooden 'Ships of the Line' painted in immaculate Nelson chequer though usually used as training ships and accomodation for recruits.
