Boats on the Slipway is an original mixed media painting by James Bartholomew RSMA, a celebrated British seascape and landscape artist and a full member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists since 2002. Working in his signature blend of pastel and watercolour, Bartholomew is drawn to the way light shapes a place - and here he captures a quiet moment on an English fishing-village slipway, the boats YH2515 and YH78 hauled up on the cobbles while the tide is out.

The composition rewards a closer look. Notice the loose, energetic mark-making that gives the scene movement, the chalky render of the sea wall, the tangle of mooring rope, and the row of pastel-coloured houses catching the soft coastal light above. The dusty blues, faded reds and warm sandy tones feel unmistakably of the British coast.

As a one-off original on high-quality watercolour paper, glazed and finished in a handmade white wood frame, this is collectable coastal wall art ready to hang straight from the box. A characterful piece of marine art for anyone drawn to working harbours and the quiet rhythms of the seaside.
