Ship Aground in the Solent

One of Dad’s panorama formats… and the subject is well suited to it. Funnily enough the same thing happened to a liner just a few years ago in the same place… I think it is called ‘The Brambles’. A couple of things are not strictly topographically correct; Dad was often in the habit of moving things around to suit his needs. I like the way the shipping is all in a line on the horizon like small objects arranged on a window-sill.

Richard included bait diggers as a main subject or tiny in the foreground or background in dozens of works.
