Boatyard Bill at Richmond (2025) Original Oil Painting by Emma Pilkington

42.6 x 32.5 x 3.5cm (framed) / 40.6 x 30.5cm (actual image size)

£300

On this day I planned to paint the Thames from Richmond, only to have a clinker boat park in the centre of my composition. As I love Van Gogh’s brief depictions of men and women at work, I was immediately drawn to attempt a rudimentary boat and man sanding it. Afterwards I introduced myself to him. “Call me Boatyard Bill,” he said, “everyone from here to Cornwall does.”
