Boatscapes

Like many things I get involved in, this project started by chance with some casual images of boats on Mersea Island, Essex.
As a lifelong devotee of black and white photography but loving the colour art of people like Albert Irvin and Mark Rothko, I was interested by the appearance of these images after processing. I liked their 'painterly' look, which made me think of the early pictorialists and their efforts to make photographs appear to be paintings.
The numbers next to each are just file numbers to identify each image.
