Queen Mary 2 painting

Hello everyone, I just thought I would share a painting I have done of the QM2. It's 14 x 18 inches, oil on canvas

Excellent - another good painting; I like your subtle use of shading to convey the bulge of the forward windows under the bow - that shape must be a particularly difficult part of QM2 to capture on canvas?

Hi Peter, yes that is quite difficult, if that area isn't right it would stand out a mile! Altogether though I didn't come across too many problems with this painting, unlike the last QE2 painting which I had a lot of trouble with. Thanks for your comment!
