Exhibition Den Helder

Looks as if aground the one at left. Maybe it is supposed to look like it because it describes such an event? If not, and it is your picture, I'll delete this post Frans! Regards, Stein.

Hi Stein, the left one is from Ronny Moortgat an Belgium artist, he cold this painting ``Be Stranded``Sent me your email adress and I sent you the complete cataloque.

It would seem to be a reasonably faithful copy of [COLOR="Navy"]this[/COLOR] picture of Pasha Bulker

Well there you have it Tonga, the influence of Ships Nostalgia on the world of culture.
Aground she was, yes... I think that I would have put something in the foreground to make that unquestionable. Painting number 3, 4 and 5 on this page is a frigate painted by Ronny Moortgat, all show her well at sea, but all with a helicopter hovering above the ship as in the Pasha Bulker picture: http://www.belgamarine-painters.com/Art%20info/artinfo-en.htm Must be a message there somewhere.
Here's some full-screen paintings by our Member Frans who posted the above picture: http://www.arendnet.com/romeijnsen.htm Regards, Stein.

Yes, with hindsight it might have been a wise move to include something land-based to guide the eye to the foreground and the fact that she was aground; but on a constructive note, I rather like Ronny Moortgat’s, trademark Mechanical Terence Cuneo Mouse (Jester)
