I’ve always been fascinated by lighthouses and foghorns. I like the idea of the lightship bobbing out on the Goodwins keeping shipping safe. That idea made me want to paint something positive that represents lives being saved rather than wrecks and tragedy that we associate with the Goodwin Sands.
Until the middle of the 20th century the Goodwins lightship would have been permanently manned with the crews changing monthly. Swearing and profane language was banned and every man was supplied with a bible and a ‘library of varied and entertaining literature.’
Now I have recently become a boat dweller myself, the idea of saving lives at sea seems an especially poignant one.
Make it easier to have that piece of work that simply must hang on your wall.
We offer a simple scheme that allows you to buy art now and not miss out on that one thing you so desperately want.
Make a 20% deposit and then pay the remaining amount off over 12 months by direct debit. Not only does this mean you won’t lose that unique piece of art to another buyer - but it will also protect you against the artist’s prices going up whilst you try and save to buy it.
