REF : 0 EDITION : 1930 DATE : 1930 COURSE : 0 DESCRIPTION SITE : Shamrock V is from The Great Yachts series. Shamrock V, was Sir Thomas Lipton's 5th yacht to compete for the America's Cup. Before the 1930 match, special Regattas were organized at Cowes to help Sir Thomas Lipton in his final attempt to "lift the auld mug" from the Americans. Tim Thompson is a self-taught painter and one of the few young marine artists utilizing traditional oil techniques. By placing layer upon layer of translucent wash on canvas, Thompson is able to produce a luminosity that is rarely seen in contemporary marine paintings. Displaying an elegance and sophistication reminiscent of works by the 19th century masters of marine art, his works are widely collected by marine art connoisseurs around the world.
