Cutty Sark Greenwich London Art Print
Cutty Sark Greenwich London Art Print.
This illustration was done over many many cups of tea. A tribute to the original tea clipper.
I really like the bold red sun, the contrasting delicate blue lines, the lush cream-ish background creating the perfect negative space making this print quite attractive.
The Cutty Sark is a legendary British clipper ship, renowned for its speed and grace during the 19th century. Built in 1869 in Dumbarton, Scotland, it was designed for the tea trade, transporting goods from China to England. The ship's sleek and elegant design, combined with its innovative features such as a composite construction of wood and iron, made it one of the fastest ships of its time.
Despite the emergence of steamships, the Cutty Sark continued to prove its prowess as a sailing vessel, setting records for speed and enduring numerous adventures on the high seas.
I thoroughly enjoyed a trip to Greenwich with mum last summer, on a rather windy day. Standing on the edge on the galley of this mighty ship, with views of the river beyond it almost felt we were back at sea.
