DETAIL OF TRAWLBOARD

[Julian de'Courcy]

Trawl boards are heavy, heavier than all of us here can lift. Why would we wish to? No idea.
Anyway they get hauled through the water , spreading the mouth of the trawl wide, wide like a mouth that gulps beer when the thirst is first quenched after a stroll along Huntington beach, the water is colder, several fathoms deep, they oxidise over time hanging from the boats stern, are repaired with welds, sometimes painted to be recognised and insignia, marks of recognition, in case they are lost and another trawls them up, the owner can be found. They cost more then a Leica camera, well almost
Whatever they are about the rust and paint makes for an interesting snap.

Yep,...that's exactly what it's like, Julian.

Interesting snap, too!

 

[Dave Farnes]

Agreed, makes for an interesting pic.

Ah, I've missed your colours and abstracts, Julian. Beautiful. Wonderful textures too. There's a painter's eye at work too.

Thank you Rob. Yes would make a good starting point for an abstract canvas.

I've missed these so much too and what a gorgeous glow this one has too. And I like that it is truly abstract as well. Without the description I would not have been able to identify it nor guess the scale easily (except maybe by the welds). Superb.
