Cowes T-Shirts

The mouth of the River Medina (Cowes, Isle of Wight) is surprisingly industrialised - but in a nice small business kind of way. If you take the slow car ferry from Southampton, this is the view you get as it comes into dock at Cowes. It caught my eye because of the jumble of interesting details such as the seaweed covered rails, the refuelling kiosk with its old pumps, the draped material for the doors, and the reflections on the windows - which are clearly not flat glass panels. I've painted this on a 16x12 inch board using oils and a lot of fiddling around with the detail.

Osborne House Number of views as of 28th June 2018 = 530. The family home of Queen Victoria, her husband Prince Albert and their 9 children, Osborne was purchased by the royal couple in 1845. Master builder Thomas Cubitt was approached to demolish the old house and build the magnificent Italianate mansion that is today maintained by English Heritage. The house (near East Cowes on the Isle of Wight) has extensive grounds and a private beach overlooking the Solent where the Queen regularly bathed and her children learned to swim. The sumptuously furnished royal apartments must be seen to be believed and it was here in 1878 that Alexander Graham Bell demonstrated his new invention (the telephone) to the Queen.
