About "Cutty Sark & the Cape St. Francis Seal Point Lig"
Cutty Sark is a British clipper ship, one of the last tea clippers to be built and one of the fastest.
The famous clipper ship Cutty Sark passed Cape St. Francis and the Seal Point lighthouse multiple times during her maritime career.
The lighthouse was commissioned on 4 July 1878.
This legendary tea and wool clipper navigated the waters off the Eastern Cape coast on several occasions.
The China Tea Trade: During her voyages between Britain and China in the 1870s, her standard route took her past the southern tip of Africa around the Cape of Good Hope, which required sailing directly past Cape St. Francis.
This painting depicts the Cutty Sark sailing in a typical south westerly cold front eastwards past the Seal Point lighthouse accompanied by a flock of Cape Gannets.
Today, the restored Cutty Sark is permanently dry-docked and serves as a museum ship in Greenwich, London.

About Don
I am a multi-faceted artist and illustrator, Senior Professional Architectural Technologist, former advertising exec and keen photographer. I work in oil, water colours, charcoal, pencil, Acrylics, pen and mixed-media including digital art. I enjoy all types of subject matter ranging from wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, portraits - across the spectrum to architecture, contemporary art, aviation, ships, trains and still life.
My aviation works are well researched and the aircraft and locations are accurate as possible so that they provide a true historical record for others to appreciate.
EDUCATION & PRIVATE TUITION:
I attended art classes from a young age and was privately tutored by Andre' Vancoillie, well-known local artist and lecturer at the age of 16 years as well as Paul Lavender in water colours.
My appreciation to Mrs Chilcott, my high school art teacher who saw something in me and went out of her way to mentor me by giving me extra art lessons in her spare time.
I matriculated in art at the PE Technical College and mention Mrs. Hill who assisted me greatly.
