Vultur Gryphus Estuari


Vultures over Southend Pier
Oil on Canvas November 2013

by George Roberts
The run up to Christmas saw frantic paint on canvas and wood action in the Cabine as the artist in residence got going on the 'elf made' presents trail.  The above oil painting captures the unlikely appearance of vultures riding the thermals over Southend Pier. Southend Pier is the longest in the world extending 1.34 miles into the Thames Estuary.  It is so long it even has a passenger train on it!

The Russian Dolls were hand painted in the Cabine to represent Darth , Obi Wan, Han, Luke, Leia and R2D2.
