Art at the Harbour


Yesterday I had the amazing opportunity to get behind the fences at Aberdeen Harbour in an art workshop by Aberdeen Maritime Museum. The harbour is spectacular, full of enormous colourful vesssels, but is usually strictly out of bounds and inaccessibly ringed by busy roads and shady pubs. It was a blazing hot sunny day and we perched on stools right on the quayside. 
This is a fairly abstract ink drawing of the anazing ‘bullnose’ oil rig supply ship Sea Spider.  The ship and its companion were so futuristic, bulge fronted ships in vivid blue. It was an amazing morning! I took lots of photos and drawings so expect some more ships here soon.
