Thomas J Burnell

Marine Artist

 

All of the marine oil paintings by Tom Burnell have unmistakable hallmarks of powerful, stunning seas and skies whether they contain battles, seascapes or just classic ships of all shapes and sizes.

After accurately researching the subject from the archives he then transforms the canvas into breathtaking scenes of bravery and daring, providing a historical snapshot of the past.

The strictly limited edition prints are either, litho printed with light fast inks onto hand-made Italian paper, or Giclee printed onto canvas and hand-finished in oils by Tom. All of the prints come with a background story and the battles have a left to right guide of the ships. They also have a signed certificate of authenticity.

Our paper prints are sold unframed, the larger ones will be dispatched rolled in cardboard tubes and the smaller ones packed flat. Our hand finished canvas prints are already stretched (ready to frame) and dispatched packed flat. We do welcome orders for framed prints however these will incur higher delivery charges depending on the size/weight and delivery location. Please contact us for the framed prices and the quote for delivery.
