The huge traditional boat festival, over 2000 boats at Brest grew out of French enthusiasm for restoring old vessels and building replicas.
One of the 35 paintings selected for the rare honour of a solo exhibition at the European Parliament, Brussels
The huge traditional boat festival, over 2000 boats at Brest grew out of French enthusiasm for restoring old vessels and building replicas.
This amazing event attracted 35,000 visitors and 3 hours National TV coverage per day.
As the day unfolded we can see some of the two thousand plus vessels heading out of Brest bound for Douarnenez.
Painted on location, I pre planned this task by reconnoitring the coast on a previous day.
