WRECK of the AMERICAN STAR
Pastel on linen board.

Launched as the SS America, the largest, fastest  and most opulent  Transatlantic liner of her time, she now rests on a remote beach on the island of Fuerteventura.

A subject for several of my paintings, this work evolved from sketches and photographs taken at the site.

Exhibited at the Ferens Art Gallery 2003.
LILY

Lily is a  beautiful Cornish Rex cat. 
Her owners commissioned this piece which measured  approximately 26" x 34".


WAITING
Pastel on paper.

A portrait of one of my cats, an Oriental Spotted Tabby named Rori-Mango.
He and my other cats are often employed as models!

OUT of the STORM, SS AMERICA
