This second ship for my blog is another copy of a painting by David Shannon. It is done in watercolor and pen and ink. Shannon did his version in acrylic for the book, "How I Became a Pirate." I don't plan to sell this version I was just looking for a clear image of a pirate ship and Shannon's version is excellent.Check the book out at your library if you have a chance, it is wonderful. I am not quite sure who the writer is. My grandson will be the new owner of this picture.. I posted another picture I did for him a little while ago. His mom requested a different, larger version. So this is it. I am going to try to find some copyright-free versions of ships for the purpose of scrimshaw. I bought some old dental picks to use for the purpose and a book on the subject. But I am having second thoughts. It all seems kind of complicated. Pen and ink and watercolor are my forte. I don't like handling sharp objects like dental picks plus they give me the creeps. Maybe I will stick with pen and ink. I am still considering selling my original work on Etsy but I cannot find anyone to give me a clear answer as to what the costs are. If anyone has any information, a message to this blog would really be appreciated. Thank you and have a really good weekend. God bless you...Dale .............................
