On sea and land

Mike Russell has sent in three paintings. “All have been painted in acrylics and photographed with an ordinary 35mm digital camera. The sailing boat is an image of a Bluenose schooner; these boats sailed out to the fishing banks of Newfoundland and launched small dories to do the fishing. Alas, only a replica remains, which I have seen sailing off Halifax, Nova Scotia. The fox is one of my wildlife paintings, although I usually paint birds. The mountain scenery is a stormy Brecon Beacons, a place I love. It was executed with palette knife, brush, toothbrush, spray and probably other tools as well. This is one of my largest paintings I think 24"x 20".”
