The Daniel Adams
This painting was the first of the works on this website. I was attracted initially by the wonderful lines of the hull and the textures of the rusting paint.
The ship was an Irish Navy vessel and is now a houseboat moored near Wooda Surgery at East the Water, Bideford.
I first drew the ship from many angles, including climbing down the quay to draw the bow from below. The composition seen here contrasts the ship with the smooth low tide mud. This painting was exhibited at the South West Academy’s 2018 annual exhibition.
Details such as ropes and chains criss-cross the hull providing a series of lines that break up the flat area of the hull.
The swooping lines of the hull as it progresses towards the bow makes a dynamic projection when played off against a gentle sky.
Pete Newell talks about his paintings discussing his methodology, composition and process.
Pete's paintings are all made using good quality acrylics on professional standard linen or cotton canvases such as those by Winsor and Newton. They have warp resistant kiln-dried, bevelled solid pine stretcher bars. The canvases are archival and acid free. Each painting is varnished with appropriate acrylic varnish and simply framed by Pete. The frames are easily removed if a purchaser wishes to re-frame a painting.
The paintings on this website are all nautical or maritime in their subject matter. Pete does have paintings embracing other subjects and he can show you these using either Google Meet, Zoom or WhatsApp.
His paintings are all for sale. Selling is an interesting point for artists. Pete's belief is that "painting is communication and that to complete the creative circle one's art needs to have an audience to communicate to." The act of selling is to complete that creative circle.
