This is an exhibition of maritime paintings, taking the viewer from a regatta on calm seas, through increasingly rougher seas, to the finale of a shipwreck in stormy seas. Man has always had a fascination with the sea and the vessels which make their way upon them. These paintings bring with them an emotional connection to remind us that while the ocean can be peaceful, providing a pleasant place to have fun, she can also be unforgiving when respect is not given.
