John Neale Lithograph "Provident in the Estuary"

Atmospheric lithographic print of an oil painting of the ship "Provident" in "the Estuary"- perhaps the Dart river, as Provident is a gaff ketch Brixham trawler which began life as a fishing trawler in 1924 sailing out of Brixham, Devon. Since then she has been mostly owned by sail training charities and until recently the Trinity Sailing Foundation, catering for disadvantaged people. This is a limited edition print, no.12/500 and is signed in pencil lower right. John Neales is a contemporary artist. His website says that he considers himself to be an artist in the English tradition, but greatly influenced by the French impressionists. Like many of them, he likes to paint "en plein air". He lives partly in Salcombe Devon and partly in Stratford on Avon and many of his works are of the south west coast and the Cotswolds. He also spends time in New Zealand fishing and his paintings reflect wide travels. He has exhibited in Bond St and Albemarle St in London.
