ASHORE

It was Carl (“Officer Carl Hansen.”) who started a conversation with him at the bar. He gave him a business card, showed him his badge and said he was looking for someone called Harry. He asked Louis if he didn’t know him and showed him a photo of a really bad quality. From what was on it, it could be literally anyone with slightly longer dark hair. And still, the immediate thought of Curly flashed through Louis’ mind.

He tried to remain calm as he asked: “What did he do? Is he dangerous or anything?” He really did a good job of making it sound like he only was curious for his own safety.

“Um. I can’t tell you the details, obviously. But he’s took part in some drug cartel business. And about if he’s dangerous – he might be. We don’t know.”

Louis’ breath hitched. “Oh, ok. Any kind of distinctive signs?”

Carl sipped on his beer. “Well. Apparently, every lawful member of the cartel has a tattoo somewhere on their body. One of a mermaid woman that looks like this,” he planted a second picture on the table and Louis felt his blood turning cold as he recognized that weird illustration from Freddie’s book.

“Um. I’m sorry, but I don’t know anyone fitting to your profile. Thank you, though. I’ll definitely make sure to contact you if I spot anything unusual.” He said while standing up, finishing his beer and ordering another two large rums that he drunk in a quick succession.

Just as he started to feel a little bit tipsy, he paid for his expanses and left.

There was something he needed to sort out.

OR:

Louis Tomlinson is a fisherman from a small harbour town somewhere on the British Islands. For a long while now, he struggles to catch any fish to sell, which is quite inconvenient as he has a son that he needs to take care of. He's frankly desperate. But then, everything changes when he finds a living boy in his nets one day...

Smugglers' Bay by Montague Dawson

This impressive work belongs to Dawson's much sought-after Caribbean and Pacific Island series of paintings, of which a small number have come to auction in recent years. These works are unique in that they run contrary to Dawson's primary reputation for depictions of the elegant commercial sailing ships of the 19th century, the high-octane world of yacht racing in the early/mid-20th century and the military craft of the war years, himself having served in the Royal Navy during the First World War. This series offer an insight into the excitement that the artist took from all aspects of the nautical world, not just the historical past and the present, but also folklore and the tales associated with the 17th century heyday of buccaneers patrolling Caribbean and Pacific waters. Stories of this nature would have been brought to the fore of one's imagination during Dawson's lifetime through the popularisation of the subject in cinema.

The present work is the only moonlit example from this series, with others being in the intense glare of the midday sun. The moonlight provides the perfect setting for the pirates' clandestine activities; as we can see, their booty is being brought ashore, inspected, and prepared for stashing. Although we cannot be certain of the location, we do know that Dawson painted both the Cocos Island and Gorgona Island in this series and it therefore seems plausible that this treasure is being buried in one of these locations. The Cocos Island being the centre of the greatest deal of speculation and excitement during the period, with rumours of vast hoards of treasure having been buried here and never found.

The present work was published as a signed limited-edition print under the title of 'Pieces of Eight' (Venture Prints Ltd, 1971, edition of 500). The title of the print conjures images of Robert Louis Stephenson's 'Treasure Island' and the main protagonist Long John Silver and his parrot, Captain Flint. Captain Flint being remembered for the repetition of the phrase "Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!" – this being a reference to the Spanish silver dollar which would often be cut into eight pieces in order that change could be provided.

It is clear that this was a significant work to the artist. The scale is grand, and the level of finish is exceptionally high. The glow emulating from the party's lanterns, and reflection from those situated on their ship in the bay, have been expertly crafted to create an ambience of both serenity and excitement. We know that Dawson visited the Pacific and Caribbean on a number of occasions, and it is therefore very likely that the depiction of the topography and flora are based on first-hand accounts and sketches. Leonard Ramsey's acclaimed book on Dawson gives a description of the artist's handling of his subjects, a description that can certainly be applied to this work:

'His brushwork, though free, is never careless and his colours are graded with discipline and restraint. This all contributes to the feeling of spaciousness and harmony which is the mark of a Montague Dawson'

New

A new sweet breeze drifts ashore, reviving the feelings I once knew before. Impending, depending; colors that blend into a new rendering. Beauty, deprivation, a bespoke hope. How does one become awoke from a dream that flirts with rope?

How sweet is it to breath a clean breathe ashore? Will this be what I need and more?
