Paintings are available mounted or framed.
UK postage ranges between £8 mounted to £25 framed all through
Royal Mail special delivery, tracked and signed.
Buyer receives tracking links.
lnternational postage prices to be discussed upon application, as some countries would need to be dealt with by artmarine because of customs registration, while picture is reserved
If you are interested in any of the pictures I am happy to arrange for delivery and payment, each sale is dealt with as an individual and unique transaction.
I have two types of stock frames should you require framing direct from me,
dark wood with a gold inner highlight or white wood
Click here to view stock frames
other wise the pictures are hung in mounts ready for you to frame yourself.
All my pictures are painted on - “Saunders Waterford” 100% cotton paper, 200lb rough -
The Water colours hang from the top of the mount, with just a small amount of support on the sides near the top also, this is so the painting can settle and adapt to environmental changes, like temperature and humidity. If the picture were taped all the way round it would not be able to hang and settle in the mount as it should - in short it has been "hung in the mount" not "stuck in the mount" and if it is put in the frame and sealed the way it is it sold it should have a long and happy life.
My paintings are also available for sale, where indicated, through my online gallery at https://www.artmarine.co.uk where there is a bespoke framing service and they will be happy to discuss your preferences from a wider range of framing options, with the highest standard non-reflective museum glass if required, while the picture is reserved.

"HMS Victory Squaring the Yards"
completed November 30th 2020
No particular occasion just a study of HMS Victory
The term "Squaring the Yards" was the learning behind this painting, a term of nautical origin from C18.
It meant that the yards, the spars that carried the sails, were to be set at right angles to the keel line from bow to stern, a state that was known as "square by the lifts and braces" if the spars were set horizontal. (The lifts and braces were part of the running rigging; the lifts raised and lowered the yards and the braces turned them). At sea, "squaring the yards" meant that the ship sailed directly downwind.
After anchoring, "square the yards" was an instruction to make the ship tidy and ready for sailing again.
