Puffer in Clyde Bank WW2

Simply riveting.

Don

Superb, Beaches. Wonderful evocation of what it was like. Ross and Marshall's puffers visited Tiree from time to time, usually sub-contracted or chartered by J & J Hay. I have a large and lovely photograph on my wall of R and M's 'Polarlight' on the shore at Balinoe, Tiree, with a cavalcade of carts and horses waiting their turn. I love your ghostly 'Aquitania'.

Superb use of colour and hazy images in the background.

More than Beautiful !!!!

I keep coming back for another look its so good!

So do I, Griffon. Perhaps Beaches will do us a 'puffer on the shore' painting...and then we'll not be able to leave this site at all! What is it about puffers? Donald

The control over colour in this painting is wonderful. Its always a treat to see your work but this one is special.

All the best

The Puffer has an aura - the Islands and Highlands as a backdrop, the sandy shores to pull up onto, the harbour walls with their stone work and seaweeds to lean against. The crews and the people who took their carts for their cargo, this is all part and parcel of this atmospheric little boat. What more could a painter wish for, - his sketch book and paintbox!
Kindest regards to you all for you kind comments.

Hi Beaches:

I was showing a friend, a fellow artist, the maritime art section of the SN site today and when we came to your work and this one in particular he couldn't contain himself. Of course, he's a Scot (from Dundee, no less) which added to the fascination. In current vernacular, he was blown away and asked if you had a website or address where he could get information on the availability of your work.
