The 6th Battleship squadron of the US Navy joins the Grand Fleet at Scapa Flow in 1918.
Not a true depiction more my impression of the event. inspired by a painting of the German High Seas fleet in internment by Frank Watson Wood
Two Short 184 Seaplanes from HMS Pegasus

Thank you. I suppose you could almost say it is a bit of an Historical Document. All the photos of the event that I have seen, have been from deck level and only show one or two ships.
JimFebruary 29, 2020 at 12:04 pm #953978Another wonderful painting Jim and those subtle hints of colour in the sky and reflections really work well here.
As always your attention to detailing is superb.

JimMarch 1, 2020 at 8:40 pm #953977Nice detail with the background figures and ships. Looks like you’re taking this detail in your paintings to a whole new level! You do very well with this style, and I would be very excited to see how you would paint an entire landscape with just forests and mountains with as much intricacy as you do with these airplanes and ships.
