This painting was painted with acrylic paint on canvas without the use of a brush instead i used kitchen roll and card. it depicts a number of sailing ships with damaged rigging limping home after a sea battle.

    • It’s supposed to be after an adventure returning home with an early morning sky the ships rigging is all blown apart. The ships will be full of wounded men the surgeon will be busy sawing off limbs. There will be the moans and screams of the wounded. It’s more of a sad painting it is not a celebration of war.
