Passing Ships

Construction began in December 1939 of this foreground ship, the HMS Belfast, that saw action in WW2, the Korean war and other “conflicts”. Now a museum in the middle of the Thames River in London, I admit only drew my attention because it blocked my views of the Tower Bridge. But its camouflage paint job inspired this recreation.

If you can't avoid it - include it in composition, ha! Looks nice painting! Cheers, Wayne! PDE

There's enough realism in this photopainting to enable a viewer to identify a warship and the people on its deck (possibly workers). A strong image, Wayne - especially the slightly jagged edges.

Many thanks, Michael. After squinting at the ship, lines merged and shapes presented suggesting an interesting image.

Thanks, Pierre. When given lemons, make lemonade.

Wow....Wayne, wonderful creative work of art with amazing painting effect. Take care,.............Patsy

Thanks, Patsy. "Boats" are probably my most favorite subject to "paint".

Nice post processing painting effect. Glad the position of the guns are skyward, a non threatening attitude!!

Thanks, Warren. I really appreciate the comment. Hadn't thought about the attitude of the guns.
