Bill MearnsBorn on the East Coast of Scotland into a family with a very strong sea-faring tradition, Bill Mearns has always been vitally interested in the sea and ships. He is a self-taught Marine artist, having sketched marine subjects since boyhood. He also makes models of small traditional boats. By profession he was a mechanical engineer, but has been painting full time now for many years. His home is in Hobart, Tasmania. His work appeals above all to the sea-faring community in Tasmania, as the boats and ships he paints are often the well-known "old-timers", meticulously detailed in their proportions and their rigging, and are "at one" with the sea which bears them, in all its moods.
Below are images of some of his most recent paintings. |
