The Southwold Schooner

 





The 3-masted schooner is a regular visitor off the Blyth Estuary at Southwold. I wanted to capture the joy of seeing it appearing through the mist and dropping anchor.








As the painting progressed, it became more and more geometrical. This is the first time I followed the shapes in the image, rather than the emotions it evoked. 


Even the breaking wave has a mathematical feel.
