Shoesmith
Captain Kong e.mailed these Shoesmith study's to me yesterday he took whilst staying aboard the RMS Queen Mary in Longbeach, California. He found them in one of the state rooms aboard the Mary and they were painted by Kenneth D Shoesmith in the 1930's when he was commissioned by Cunard, they have been hanging in the Mary for these past 70 years (excepting for the period of World War 2). Brian, knew that I was posting pictures by Shoesmith and thought that I would like to add them to my collection. I was very pleased to do so and, indeed I was pleased to think that these pictures have given so much pleasure to the tens of thousands of people over the past half century and I like to think that they will give pleasure to all of those who will follow us in the future. I hope you like them too.
After Brian sent me the pictures I discovered the above photo of the artist himself putting the finishing touches to the picture of the "Madonna of the Atlantic"
