A. D. Blake

AD Blake’s historical marine oil paintings range from gaff-rigged classic yachts, square-sailed sailing ships to historical America’s Cup races and contemporary sailing scenes. His historical maritime art is painted in a traditional style showing the beautiful details of the yachts and their rigging. The paintings are often historic yachting harbour scenes, including Newport, Nantucket, New York, Martha’s Vineyard, Marblehead, Boston, Cowes, Isle of Wight, Auckland and Venice; or blue-water ocean races. Most of the historical America’s Cup races have been captured including the first race around the Isle of Wight won by the yacht “America.”
