Wreck of a Baltic Trader I (Oil on linen 2012. 122 x 152cm)<br />
Wreck of a Baltic Trader II (Oil on linen 2012. 122 x 137cm)<br />
A series of wreck paintings taken from the wreck of I.P. Thorsø in a nearby<br />
creek that I have wanted to paint for several years.<br />
I developed this way of putting the paint on to show rusty iron work. I<br />
refined the technique when painting the bare rusty ribs of the Cutty Sark<br />
while she was being restored. Building the paint up, layer upon layer, with<br />
a bricklayer’s pointing trowel finally gave me the means to paint these<br />
wrecks. I made further improvements by making trowels of varying sizes.<br />
This Baltic Trader is very similar to the boat I worked when 14 years old.
