The Story:

Inspiration comes from surprising places! Looking at marine biologist, @underwaterwithkatie's lovely photo, took me back to my student diving days, on a trip to Wales. The boats we hired to go further offshore than our little inflatables could manage, usually looked just like this one. Ready to handle rough seas, yet so visually appealing with their curvy lines, boxy superstructure and blue and white hues.

This one is actually to be found in Ramsay, Isle of Man. Many thanks again to Katie (follow her work on Instagram @underwaterwithkatie) for kind permission to paint from her fabulous photo. As a thank you to Katie, I will be donating 10% of profits from the sale of these prints to The Manx Wildlife Trust.

You can see this painting taking shape, as a time-lapse video on my IGTV channel, or a longer version if you sign up to my Patreon membership site, (https:www.patreon.com/susanclare) as one of the membership benefits.

Painted in blocky acrylics, on canvas, with large brushes, this 12" x 16" Fishing Boat on the Isle of Man is quite contemporary in style, whilst still realistic.  

The Practical Details:

Printed on Somerset Velvet acid free paper with archival quality inks and mounts.  

The print is available mounted in white or ivory.

The mount is sized to fit a frame 12" x 16".
