That brown sky places it off LA doesn't it?

Outstanding brush work.

Slocum didn't even like it - it was just free. That's the big irony about all the fans of that boat - the only reason he succeeded was because he was an outstanding seaman. It was despite the boat, not because of it. The replicas of it are a demonstration of the fact that even a haystack can...

That Monet guy was pretty good.

Looks like the view looking out at "Christina's World"

That ain't gonna buff out.

That's one of the best pieces in this thread.

No, it's craft.

When Dyneema started to be used for standing rigging someone said that wire rigging might turn out to have been a relatively short term aberration.

I doubt a stint on Eagle would teach one much or anything that would translate to sailing a small sloop. I've never once had to splice a brace or hoist a yardarm in 50 years of sailing.

I don't know why artists didn't simply give up on painting marine scenes once Turner hit his stride. The best anyone else could ever do would be a very distant second place.

Cool stuff - has a strong Neiman influence I'd say.

Shagging on a rock? Sounds cold & painful.

Very cool. I especially like the first one.

Damn - that sprit is longer than my whole boat. Probably weighs more too.

Beken said he saw this coming and raced to get there before it happened. :D It's actually cropped from a long shot.

I've always seen some quality the same as Ansell Adams in Rosenfeld's photos. I suspect it lies in a developing technique - getting that "density" of contrast.

No-one cares about sound quality anymore. That compressed shit they get from the web is little better than an AM car radio with a single dash speaker.

By a strange coincidence, that's what it was. Marantz 1150 amp, 120 tuner, Technics turntable and Altec Lansing 14 floor speakers. I still have it. Apparently the Marantz gear is now collectible but I somehow think an original Neiman would have appreciated more.

I had a chance once in the 70's to buy an original Neiman for $2000. I bought a mega stereo instead. :rolleyes:
