Artist illustration of a watercolor I painted depicts a charming tugboat that transports people across the waters of Halifax, Nova Scotia in Canada. With its vibrant colors and whimsical details, the painting captures the essence of this adorable vessel, bringing to life its playful character and the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The tugboat seems to dance across the waves, inviting viewers to join in on the fun of this picturesque seaside town.

My friend (I shall call him 'The Big Man') is a ferry enthusiast. I've drawn three key ferries from his life to celebrate the birth of his new baby girl (who'll probably go and watch ferries whether she likes it or not). There was the time he lived in a fishing village north of Aberdeen and he used to watch the Northlink ferries sail past his house. When he got married, he voluntarily dressed up as a sailor and we took the CalMac ferry to the Isle of Arran. More recently, we travelled to Australia (on a plane) and we used the ferries to cross Sydney Harbour.

Ferris Wheel

The waters of the Greek islands are amazingly clear allowing views deep into the waters. In shallows the sea bed can be seen with hints of life below. The calmness is stirred by the inter-island ferry services that are the life-blood of these islands. Prime viewing position at the stern of the Blue Star Ferry as it leaves Santorini bound for Nexus. No one image can fully capture the movement, colour variations of this brief phase on the sea crossing which changes once deep-water is encountered. The set of 8 shown forms a carefully crafted panel.

There has been a ferry here for over 1000 years. The Edgcumbe Belle (built in 1957) does not normally work this route. Until recently, the regular boat was the Northern Belle, but she was withdrawn from service in December 2013 following an incident with a Royal Navy landing craft. Date: 13th April 2014.

The tractor reverses out into the water and the bow of the ferry boat docks with the rear of the vehicle allowing the passengers to get off the boat and onto the tractor and vice versa. South Sands is a small cove on the Kingsbridge Estuary, just south of Salcombe, South Devon, England. Date: 14th April 2014.

Wight Light Number of views as of 18th October 2018 = 880. The old joke was: "What's brown and smelly and comes steaming out of Cowes?". Answer: The Isle Of Wight Ferry! Well, I'm pleased to inform you that the ferries operating on the Lymington to Yarmouth route these days are not brown and smelly at all. The 30 minute route is served by three new vessels (introduced in 2009) - Wight Light, Wight Sun and Wight Sky. Wight Light is pictured here heading towards Lymington. Taken from Wight Sun heading towards Yarmouth. Built in Croatia, the new ferries were designed exclusively for the route, are more fuel efficient than the 35 year old vessels they replaced and offer better passenger facilities and comfort. Date: 27th October 2009.
