I just happened to peruse this thread today.  I see nobody answered your page so I submit some of Mr. Bull's art that I procured for my collection.  

I think the large one is readily identifiable as to the artist.  

Also my collection of pastel seascapes from an old college friend of mine.

He loved the painting. I told him it was the beginning of the study. he will get a replacement if he choses on over the next few as I roll into a few more of these.  Like the film/video I shoot, I love to try to meet the emotion in the art with the subject covered.  Playing with materials and styles opens up new ways of seeing and expressing.

I have one of these prints - 'Life' by the Victorian painter Charles Napier Hemy - in a cupboard. In the cupboard because although I appreciate the sentiment I can't bear the fact that the boat is so horribly warped. (I only bought it because it was so cheap and I knew I could make on it...).

I am missing the Master Mariners Sponsorship Luncheon today due to limited number of attendies allowed due to Covid protocols. My artwork today is on display at the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. Each peice speaks volumes of the organization and the boats which have sailed with the MMBA. Over the years the organization has raised several 10s of thousands of dollars for the Seas scouts, for several woodenboat building schools and many other educational fundings related to the maritime industry and outreach. I feel the legacy that this organization has flows through me, my freinds and many wonderful others who keep the 154 years of one of the greatest San Francisco traditions going.

Been silently following this topic for a while, as it combines 2 of my passions. Not much activity lately, so I thought I would kick it along.

I would to share some of my work coming up for a solo show in October in Sydney (Aus) - if anyone is around they will be most welcome to drop in! I'll drop an invite image on here in coming weeks.

Title of show is 'Wet - A celebration of water and creativity'

This will be a multimedia show - I am a sculptor these days, but my practice used to be paint/draw. Many works are in progress, but here are some charcoals which are complete.

Couple personal items to share.  Neither by me; I have the artistic skills of a block of cement.  I take good photographs sometimes and that's it.

The first is by a friend of mine.  (The lighting is too much, but it's either that or not enough.)  He's a very artistic-minded guy, I race on his boat, he mentioned one fall that he was going to try and get a lot of painting done that offseason.  I (perhaps very forwardly) asked if he wouldn't mind painting one for me.  Being the great guy he is, he did, and the first painting is the result.  I love it.  It's the focal point of my dining room.

(Later, he asked me not to be mad, but he liked it so much he painted another one just like it for himself - although the ship is a little different.  As if I could ever be mad about that!  Actually, I was thrilled that he liked it as much as I do.)

The second is a horrible photograph, of a very good, detailed painting, of a very good photograph.  (I must see if I can get a better picture.)  The thing I like about is that I'm in it.  Farthest right with yellow hood, crouching by the high-side winch.  Photoboat on Long Island Sound took the picture during the Edlu race 11 years ago.  Nasty, lumpy conditions, obviously.  That's me on the right, and my dad is the guy between the radar and the main getting ready to ride the other rail (we are getting ready to tack.)  The race took place while my family came out to visit my brother and me when we lived and raced in New England, so the skipper invited Dad along (Mom and other brother are not sailors.)  Sadly, my brother on the boat with us was down below putting on foulies when the picture was taken, so he missed out on being immortalized in oil.

Some photographs I'm pretty proud of.  There is no filter on any of these.  First two over Long Island Sound on the Vineyard Race, I think four years ago.  Second two on this years PH-Mac race.

In 1990 we sailed PRETTY PENNY as a spectator of the MM Regatta. We got a nice close look at ALMA, and CALIFORNIAN, and a whole bunch of Birds, Folkboats, gorgeous CCA period boats and it was just a perfect windy day on the bay. I have a VHS of the day but need to dig it up and then get a VCR working and then find some way to freaking send it to a new medium.

I love all those boats. if you find the tape - I will convert it for you.

I doubledhanded Pretty Penny in the YRA Encinal Regatta yesterday. We ended up wrapping the spin on the forestay like a chinese finger trap outside the gate with challenging wind and an inexpereinced helmsman. I managed to free 60 percent of it at treasure island after sailing 6 miles home under the main. We came in third in our class. hard day. we saved some face by clearing most of the sail by the Encinal Yacht Club. I will be climbing the mast tomorrow...

Not sure this is the right place for this. I’m no photographer but I just thought that it wouldn’t be often you could get these two rigs side by side.

So happy to hear this! (Not the shrimping, but the racing). As for scary moments at the Golden Gate, if G.S. were still alive he could tell you multiple stories...fortunately everyone always came home even if just barely a few times.

I didn't see any Melbourne Brindle prints in the thread, but I'm sure that some are here already.

When I was a teenager my grandparents had a friend named Layton Brindle.  He was a retired car dealer who had specialized in Rolls and Bentleys.  He was always neatly dressed, with a perfectly trimmed pencil mustache and white hair that was perfectly parted in the middle - a look that worked perfectly for him.  He had sailed on SF bay for quite a few years in his younger days and occasionally told me stories of his sailing days, though I don't remember what sort of boat that he owned.  

A few years after he had passed on, my mother gave me a book of Melbourne Brindle prints and mentioned that the artist was Layton's younger brother.  I guess that a love of sailing ran in the family.
