Welcome to Paul Boyle Hullscapes - these expressive images are of details of boats in dry dock awaiting or undergoing overhaul and refitting.

Why ‘Hullscapes’?

Originally Paul’s boat hull images were titled ‘Hull Seascape xx’, but some images also had landscape qualities. Coincidentally a friend emailed Paul complimenting some of his new ‘Hullscapes’... and so this more embracing title was born.

There are 3 Galleries of Themes

1. •Hullscapes are closeups of parts of boat hulls, some of which have been scoured by pressure hoses and electric grinders - although these vessels are high and dry the sea still leaves its marks
   

1. •Hull Supports juxtapose wood and metal - the weak supporting the strong
   

1. •Rudders & Propellers show tight compositions of shape, colour and texture
