Painting of the Month
OCTOBER 2026
Welcome to my 'Painting of the Month' page. Featured maritime originals from past to present are shown here, representing the finest of my paintings over the years. Discover my latest artworks and know the story behind them. Maritime art focuses on the sea, yachts, classic boats, schooners, Naval ships, harbours, and coastal scenes. It often captures the spirit of seafaring and the relationship between people and the ocean. As a British artist, working in the UK, my paintings continue to keep alive this artistic tradition.
Velsheda
Original | Available
There's something profoundly stirring about the sight of a J Class yacht under full sail, and Velsheda — graceful, powerful, and steeped in maritime heritage — embodies that spirit like no other.
In my painting of Velsheda, I set out to capture not just the yacht's elegance, but the energy and emotion of the moment: the tension in the rigging, the gleam of sunlight on the hull, and the dynamic interplay of wind and water. It's a tribute to craftsmanship, both nautical and artistic.
