R.M.S. Titanic by Rodney Charman.
At noon on Wednesday, 10th April 1912, the White Star liner R.M.S. Titanic cast her lines from the White Star dock, Southampton and began what was to become the most famous maiden voyage in history. With Captain Edward J. Smith on the bridge and towed by the tug Neptune, assisted by tugs Hercules, Albert Edward, Hector, Ajax and Vulcan, the huge liner was manoeuvred into the River Test. Built by Harland and Wolff in Belfast the 45,000 ton Titanic was considered the most advanced vessel of her time and believed to be unsinkable. Two hours after being ripped open by an iceberg Titanic slowly but surely began to slip below the surface of the Atlantic with a loss of nearly 1,500 passengers and crew, the biggest maritime disaster in peacetime.
Recently completed, this magnificent painting depicts the moment when Titanic left the dockside at Southampton, England at the start of her fateful maiden voyage. Historically accurate, the painting was painstakingly researched using existing ph.........

The Customs House by Rodney Charman Sailors and workmen gather to listen to the Salvation Army .
Shopkeepers and housewives come to their doorways and customs officers
stop work to hear the singing in front of the Customs House on Poole Quay
on a winter's evening in 1905. The Customs House was erected on the
site of a previous building that burnt down in 1813. The design of
the building was based on the Guildhall with steps leading up to the first
floor where transactions were made. Weighing, examination and
storage took place on the ground floor. The wooden mast with twin
arms is a replica of the Town Beam which used to weigh goods taken into
and out of the town.
Art and aviation have been like a brother and sister to me. We have grown up together, learned together and made our adult lives together. But you do not have to have an appreciation of aircraft to admire the graceful lines of a Spitfire or the functional simplicity of a Focke-Wulf 190. They are themselves a work of art and they cry out to be painted - not as machines of war and destruction, but as objects of beauty, born of necessity and function, yet given a life and iconic classicism beyond their original calling. My interest and love of art and aircraft was gifted to me by my father, a designer and aeronautical engineer of considerable repute. Denis Berryman C.Eng. FRAeS. He gave me his eyes, his passion, his dedication and his unwavering professionalism. I owe him everything. And I miss him terribly. A love of art and of beautiful and interesting things takes you on a journey. You discover new interests, new fascinations, and you want to paint them. You want to paint them in their environment, in their element. Whether it is an aeroplane, a warship, a racing car or a beautiful woman, their gift to an artist is the same: Their lines, their texture and the way that light and shadows give them form. These are the food and oxygen of an artist. Not the paint and the canvas. These are mere tools. The secret is in the passion and the perception...
New Dambusters Paintings, Prints and Drawings!
A brand new series of releases featuring the aircraft and airmen of the Dambusters Raid.
This superb new collection of aviation art shows may of the famous events of the raids, but also shows some of the lesser known aircraft and details - the bomber that was so low that the tallboy bomb was ripped from the aircraft by a high wave (above), or the below treetop route to the target taken by one of the bombers, or the trains that were shot up by the gunners of the Lancasters on their way to the dams.
