Oil Painting Gallery for David Weston, Cornish Artist, Mevagissey, Art

Streamlined Oar

The large painting works on several levels. The oar, painted life size, assisted in the Cornwall circumnavigation and North Sea to the Atlantic voyages. The mysterious fish have a secondary impact - unnoticed at first. The nautical border adds an extra dimension.
