Keith Snow paints in a unique style that has the viewer looking back to the days of sail and early steam in maritime history. The viewers often assume the paintings have been painted in the era that is depicted in his works. His subtle use of colours and tones have the effect of almost producing an instant antique artwork. This adds the artists unique touch to the work and takes you back in time. Keith has been providing the Grosvenor Gallery with paintings for 10 years now and his work is collected by marine art enthusiasts from all over the world. We are delighted to be able to continue offering these works to marine art enthusiasts and look forward to doing so for some time.We consider these works to be a Quality investment to be enjoyed for generations to come.
Artists comment. "My passion for things maritime began very early. I spent my youth sailing the waters of the South East coast of England and understand the technical aspects of craft from first hand experience. I emigrated to New Zealand over 30 years ago and have continued to indulge in this passion sailing in the Hauraki Gulf. I have now been painting for over 30 years and naturally most of my works are of a maritime nature - anything from Napoleonic to modern yachts. I paint full-time and have participated occasionally in the judging panel for the Auckland Easter Show."

"HMS Beagle" oils on canvas Keith Snow NEW WORK SOLD
HMS Beagle was a Cherokee class 10-gun brig-sloop of the Royal Navy. She was launched on 11 May 1820 from the Woolwich Dockyard on the River Thames, at a cost of 7,803 pounds stlg. In July of that year she took part in a fleet review celebrating the coronation of King George IV of the United Kingdom in which she was the first ship to sail under the new London Bridge. After that there was no immediate need for Beagle so she was "lay in ordinary", moored afloat but without masts or rigging. She was then adapted as a survey barque and took part in three expeditions. On the second survey voyage the young naturalist Charles Darwin was on board, and his work would eventually make the Beagle one of the most famous ships in history.
