"Rough Channel Crossing: Heading For Home".
Watercolour on hot-pressed paper, 30 by 16cm. (ref. 1218)

A bold type of composition with the yacht sailing out of the picture to the left. Although this a small painting, Don has crammed much detail into the sea and one really needs a magnifying glass to appreciate the details on the boat. "74 Gun Ship: HMS Mary"
Acryilc on canvas size 70 by 50 cm (private collection)

A fictitious first rate ship heading home after a long voyage. Don used a scale model to get the accuracy of the details in this large painting - and added the client's wife as the figurehead.

"Ships In Storm".
Watercolour 26 by 32cm. (ref. 665)

18th century warships running before a storm created by the artist from several sources. "Running Before the Storm".
Oil painting 47 by 62 cm on primed hardboard. (ref. 951)

It is early evening on the South Atlantic and a Glasgow-built clipper ship is running under reduced sail. The sea was slowly developed and supplementary studies used for details. The ship was copied from a model constructed by the artist.

"Land Ho!"
Watercolour size 48 by 35 cm. (ref. 1134)

After a long, long voyage the galleon almost leaps out of the sea and speeds toward the sighting of a new land on the horizon. The artist painted this historic marine picture using one of his highly detailed model ships and his knowledge of the mechanics of waves to build up a realistic sea. Note the figures in action on the ship. "Portloe"
Watercolour 300lb paper size 25 by 33 cm. (ref. 1282)

A peaceful day at the Cornish village of Portloe. Fishing and pleasure boats are drawn up on the small beach revealed by low tide.
