Clipper Race

All my paintings with a link to my 2007-08 Clipper race on 'Hull & Humber'. Most were painted from or using photos taken by me either on board or from stopovers in various parts of the world. Some photos were of me taken by crewmates, like the 'Off the Deck!' image, or this one of me filming as we shivered in the early morning cold outside Qingdao. Some paintings are from pictures in my head of specific events during the race - usually from the times when we weren't taking photos.

We didn't have the luxury of fixed cameras on deck or dedicated media crew like the Ocean Race, so at precisely the times when I most wanted to take photos or film, it was "all hands on deck!" and I had to just remember.
