Once again, I have no new paintings to illustrate my post. My work progress on the five paintings I have under construction has continued, and I made good headway on the Harris commission, which I had promised by Christmas, to the necessary neglect of the others.
I received another commission yesterday, and stressed to the man who placed it that it wouldn't be ready in a hurry. I'm looking forward to this one, of the second vessel in the "North Boats" fleet to bear the name "St. Sunniva". She was a steamship, built around 1930, single funnelled and painted white, had a clipper bow, and was well admired by the seafaring cogniscenti of the day. She met her end during World War II, while on admiralty service off the east coast of Canada, and was lost with all hands. I hope I do her justice.
