Edward Wesson (1910-1983)
watercolour, signed & dated '81, 30 x 48 cm, framed & glazed
The Solent from Shalfleet, Isle of Wight
Born in Blackheath, London in 1910, Edward Wesson was one of Britain's most outstanding 20th century watercolourists. His distinctive style used very little pencil outline. He preferred to dampen his paper and then apply his watercolours 'wet on wet'. He was a regular exhibitor at the Royal Academy and from the 1950s was elected and exhibited at most of the leading societies.

Arthur John Trevor Briscoe R.E. (1873-1943)

The Shipwright, 1927
Arthur Briscoe studied at the Slade and the Academie Julian in Paris. In 1899 he acquired a studio in Malden, Essex and bought a 3 ton cutter which, with his young family, he would spend eight or nine months a year sailing to Calais, along the Belgian coast and through the Dutch waterways constantly sketching and painting. His work was always technically accurate and very evocative of the last years of square-rigged sailing ships.

The Navy has Wings'. HMS Indomitable supported by Seafires off Gibraltar, 1943
HMS Indomitable, an Illustrious class carrier, was launched in 1941 and served in the Eastern Fleet at Ceylon before being joining the Mediterranean Fleet in 1942. After receiving damage in August 1942 during Operation Pedestal, and undergoing subsequent repairs in the USA, she was sent back to the Mediterranean in February 1943 to support the Sicily landings. During this period she had 40 Supermarine Seafires on board, the carrier-borne version of the Spitfire, as well as 15 Fairey Albacore torpedo bombers. Indomitable was torpedoed on 15 June 1943 by a Ju-88 and sent back to the USA for further repairs. She later joined the British Pacific Fleet for the remainder of the war and was sold for scrapping in 1955.
