"Cutty Sark in Full Sail"
The Cutty Sark is the only surviving example of the legendary 'clipper ships', the merchant ships built in the middle-19th century to carry cargo around the world as fast as possible using nothing but the power of the wind.
This beautiful ship is now preserved in London, after a career lasting 140 years. I painted her as she was, not as she is now. In full sail, skimming through the waves, carrying her precious cargo back home.
