Boat Race

While walking on the beach at Scarborough I was lucky enough to see what looked like two people in a dingy overtaking a tanker. To preserve the moment I took a quick photograph. Years later I was browsing through some photos and found it. Not much detail there, I thought, it would make a painting. Here it is done in acrylics on a board found in a frame from Poundland.

As the scene is mostly sea and sand I used a knife to smear the whole cheap board with paint. I added a few ripples for waves and some white paint to show a few of them crashing. A brush was needed to do the dinghy and tanker. This benign painting has been varnished and could by hang in your bathroom. I'm afraid I'll have to charge £12,424 for it as someone took some photos of me having a nude picnic in a field with my inflatable doll Bouncy Bella - and they're blackmailing me. I can post it off tomorrow after I've had my uvula scraped.
