The artist at home on his boat.

Famed maritime artist Bruce Elliott Roberts (1918-1993)  was best known for his accurate depictions of sailing ships, naval engagements and dock scenes.    Living a life on both land and sea, he amassed a prolific knowledge of maritime history and used that to create hundreds of works of art.

Working mostly with oil on canvas or oil on wooden panel, he diligently mastered techniques that provided his art with realism and exhaustive attention to detail.
