Royal Blue at Torpoint ferry

IF YOU LIKE THIS IMAGE PLEASE DO LEAVE A COMMENT. Before the Tamar Road Bridge was completed in the early sixties there were two ferry crossings between Devon and Cornwall on the lower reaches of the river which forms the boundary between those two counties. The upper one at Saltash was replaced by the new bridge, but the lower ferry at Torpoint still exists to this day and cuts off many miles for vehicles needing access to Looe. Here one of Royal Blue’s famous Bristol coaches leaves the ferry on the Cornwall side with the dockyards of Devonport visible in the background. A painting like this of your favourite vehicle, British or American, in oils on canvas or board would cost about £1500.

No matter how picky I try to get with your work, and try to find some weakness, something less than perfect. I find the task to be absolutely impossible. The precision and beauty of your work is flawless!

Artist Reply: Thanks Stanton, I can see the mistakes but I'll keep it to myself!
