Marine Art Gallery

Finally, my new Marine Art Gallery is open for viewing and business.  Many of my clients have been anxiously waiting to see this new fork in my artistic road.  This gallery is the result of  a collaboration between myself and Tim Wright, one of the world's  premier yachting photographers.  

Tim lives a life most of us dream about.  For the past 10 years, Tim spends eight months of the year living and running his sailing yacht photography business on his yacht S/Y "Seascape" throughout  the Caribbean.  The rest of the year is spend  following the sailing yacht racing circuit in Great Britain and  beautiful places around the Mediterranean such as Cannes, Capri, Saint Tropez and Sardinia.  Of his 60,000+ online images (4000+ boats), many  are of classic yachts that remind us of the workmanship and sailing skills of past generations.

Besides our collaboration on a series of fine art marine paintings based on his superb photographs, I also take on commissioned marine artworks  for personal and corporate clients around the world.  Check out Tim's website for a photograph of your yacht (all major regattas since 2000 are covered) and for details of how to commission a beautiful painting of your pride and joy.  This is also a perfect way for corporate sponsors and owners to commemorate a memorable event or season.  Of course if you have your own photograph, I would be honored to discuss transforming it into an original fine art painting that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Tim's photographs of sailing yachts, especially Classic yachts, under full sail are absolutely amazing.  I have spent many hours studying the works and techniques of famous marine artists (modern and historical)  in order to do justice to these beautiful ladies of the sea.  I am sure  that you will find one of my marine art images displayed in your home or office to be as inspirational to you as they are to me.  

Every painting is available in a wide range of formats from simple art carts, to an inexpensive open edition print to oversize Limited Edition canvas masterpieces that you would be proud to display in any fine home, art gallery, or corporate or public space.

Custom Coffee Table and Hardcover Gift Books

Just working out some of the logistics and details, but soon I will be offering you a truly unique product - Customized Coffee Table and Hardcover Gift Books.

Thanks to recent advances in digital publishing and digital offset printing,  I will be able to offer you high quality hard cover or even leather bound books that are cost effective for even very small print runs. 

What is truly special about these books is that I can customize them especially to your specific corporate or personal needs with minimal turnaround time.  

The first feature is that a company, organization or individual can customize the title page of the book. A company may choose to have an introductory letter from their President or CEO accompanied with perhaps photographs, company logo and even a painting commissioned especially for the occasion.  Also, this page can be modified as many times as you wish for different purposes. 

The second feature is that I include a hand signed special limited edition print on artist watercolour paper of one of the book's paintings with each book.  You may choose which of the books images would best suit your clients, friends or families tastes.  We can even mix and match from a selection of paintings if you wish.  

A  third feature is that you only need purchase the number of books you need right now.  Additional copies are only an email or phone call away and can be ordered, printed and delivered in a couple of weeks.  

This is a "WOW" concept and I will keep you posted on my progress.    The quality is amazing and the costs are very reasonable.    Please feel free to contact me anytime to discuss ideas and how I can create your own Custom Coffee Table or Hardcover Gift Book.  I suspect that I will be very busy with these custom books so sooner is probably better than later.
