‘ SEA OF POPPIES II ABSTRACT'
Oil on Canvas size 30" x36"

Save the boats to help remember the Men
In this picture there are no people and the boats appear to be ghost ships in disrepair. This is intentional; as time goes by, the men brought back in 1940 are slowly leaving us not to return and the boats that have survived are struggling.
We need to restore these boats for our national heritage.
Something to keep the men alive, in our and our children's thoughts, in the future |
