A couple mini acrylic paintings I've done recently. I took a screen shot in the long dark and tried to paint it, its a little wonky but I'll keep practising.

one thing I love very much about the master & commander film is how much it loves the lines on the ship & is so willing and happy to show the sheer number of them, there are so many shots where this always leaves such an impression on me watching it. like just off the top of my head (apologies for the image quality I'm on my phone). ough:

Richard Westall (1765-1836) "Nelson and the Bear" (1809) Oil on panel Located in the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

The painting depicts an incident in 1773 involving Horatio Nelson, then a fifteen-year-old midshipman accompanying a polar expedition to try and find the Northwest Passage. Nelson and a friend were attacked by a polar bear, Nelson's musket misfired and he reversed it to try and beat the bear off with the butt end. His life was likely saved when the ice split in two separating him from the animal. In the background is the bomb vessel HMS Carcass on which Nelson was a crew member. One of the ship's guns is seen firing in an attempt to scare off the bear. It omits the presence of Nelson's comrade, showing him confidently standing up to the bear alone.
