Ship Study (JK)
This drawing of a merchant ship moored to a bouy with the town in the background and a tugboat on the port side of the vessel was painted by Jack Kelly, a well known marine artist. I have attempted in a very small way to make his painting come alive in a black ink drawing. This a a very tiny portion of my program to teach myself how to draw with ink.

The Last Moorage
This is a drawing of an old fishing boat which was laying on a British beach about 20 or 30 miles South of the Dover Cliffs. We went sightseeing down there just prior to the last Northern Cruise, and ended up in an area where there were a lot of old fishing boats and a first rate seafood restaurant. We had dinner and on the way back I spotted this boat and wanted a picture of it The British Lady who was our guide took this picture and later mailed it to us. Margaret thought that it would be nice to make a drawing of the boat and send her a copy. I had drawn her house from pictures she gave us before the cruise, (read almost castle) and when we gave her the drawing she was pleased with it, so I thought we would try again.
