While waiting for the epoxy to cure on the gunwales of the Welsford
Seagull I'm strugling with I finished posting my entire portfolio of
underwater shipreck art and added a few to my Yahoo
profile for those who can't get to the photo section of the boat
exchange group to see. Yahoo makes you join the group to see the
photos, sorry, not my fault.

I've dabbled all my life, but it wasn't until I dove on a shipwreck
that I had someting I needed to get on canvas. The visibility is such
that you can only see 10 feet at a time of a hundred foot ship. On
the dive boat, after that 1st. dive I sketched the wreck on the back
of a cigarette pack, and the divers were amazed. They offered
corrections, and the sketches got better, that weekend I made the
first painting. And a new hobby was born.

Fellow divers would beg for copies, a run of T shirts was made and
sold in dive shops, and I even sold a few.

I hope you like them. Now I'm painiting a few boats before they sink
and doing a few harbour scenes.
