Bathed in the fiery glow of a setting sun, this evocative abstract rendition captures the serene yet commanding presence of Eyemouth Harbour in a moment of twilight splendour. The artwork masterfully blurs the lines between reality and imagination, inviting the viewer on a sensory journey through one of Scotland's picturesque seascapes. At the heart of the piece, a sunburst of oranges, reds, and yellows dances across the canvas, semblant of the dying light as it kisses the day goodbye, its reflection shimmering across the water’s surface. The harbour's usually crisp silhouette is softened into a series of confident brushstrokes and contrasting patches of colour that suggest rather than define the familiar maritime architecture and moored vessels. The sky, an improvised mosaic of slate grey and gentle whites, merges with the vibrant warmth of the horizon, crafting an atmosphere that is both stirring and tranquil. This abstract representation strips away the detail and leaves emotions laid bare, encapsulating the harbour’s essence in a way that resonates with an intuitive understanding of the scene’s innate beauty. Sharp angles and softened edges coexist harmoniously, evoking the jumbled collection of boats and buildings that define the shores of Eyemouth. Each hue plays its part in this visual symphony—a testament to the harbour's eclectic charm and the undeniable allure of the Scottish coastline at sundown. Ideal for admirers of maritime scenes and abstract art alike, this print promises to be a captivating addition to any collection, evoking the quiet majesty of Scotland’s harbours with every glance.

Here is my view of page 11 of the comic book. At this point in the story the two escapees are on the roof of the prison, after climbing up a pipe. I will use Photoshop to copy and paste their silhouettes onto the roof. This escape took place the evening of December 16. I don't have any weather records, but I think it's a good chance that there was some winter fog around the bay, hence this treatment.

Oscar Kleineh (1846-1919)

Tom Lovell (1909-1997), like many illustrators of his generation, eventually left the trade to become a Fine Arts painter -- in his case, doing western scenes from his Santa Fe, New Mexico base. But during his active years, roughly 1930-70, he forged a splendid career. Lovell's Wikipedia entry is here, his Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame page is here, and two blog posts worth viewing are here and here. He began by illustrating for "pulp" (cheap) magazines while still at Syracuse University in upstate New York. From pulps, he soon moved up to the prestigious and better-paying "slick" magazines and remained there for the rest of his illustration career. Lovell characterized himself as a visual story teller (his pulp period was good training for that, he allowed) and researcher. Regarding the latter point, he felt that his duty was to get details right, and this required a good deal of preparation because many of his subjects were historical. Motivation for this almost surely was the fact that illustrations with incorrect details are criticism-fodder for sharp-eyed readers. One observer has commented that Lovell's style didn't change much over his career. This seems to be generally true, though he clearly adjusted it to the requirements of the subject. On the other hand, Lovell's style was not as distinctive as those of some other top-notch illustrators. That is, a typical Lovell illustration is clearly very competently done, yet it can be difficult to instantly identify it as his work without searching for his signature.
