What should Marschall paint next?

I think Cameron went down the hold in 2001, mostly just saw rubble, nothing that resembled the car.

Ok thanks. That’s a shame.

You can see some of the footage in 2001, people have debated wither or not he found the car, in my opinion the parts seen look way too much like the car for it not to be.

Ooh thanks, not sure I have the 2001 documentary. Will look it up.

Well I am reading a book about the Mary Celeste. Maybe seeing a ghostly vision on the horizon, a mysterious haze encasing an abandoned brig. It wouldn't be too far off from the painting of Titanic with the apparition of Death behind her.

This would be historically inaccurate, but how about the Olympic and a Spitfire squadron flying overhead?

OR any classic ocean liner with a period plane flying above the ship or vice vera, seen from a pilot's perspective (like the famous WW1 Olympic Poster)?

Or maybe with a Zeppelin overhead. Wouldn't have to be the Hindenburg which was a year after Olympic retired but one of the other airships.

Why a German one?

If we are going to have this, lets have a proper British airship.... I suggest either R-33 or -34.

Maybe a Zeppelin and the Britannic (as a royal mail steamer) together. It would be a majestic sight to behold. The painting should be titled "The Leviathans of the Air and Sea."

I think maybe the Titanic sinking but depicting the port list, perhaps from a point of view similar to the cover of "Lost Liners".

Also, I know it didn't actually happen, but I'd love to see a painting of the Titanic entering New York harbor on its maiden voyage and passing the Statue of Liberty.

Here are my versions of the Britannic and the Graf Zeppelin:

What do you think, guys?

Or perhaps R-101, Titanic of the sea and of the air.

There is a pair of paintings of the Titanic entering New York harbour by Ken Marschall. The stern view was painted in the 1970s and is in the Coleman book The Liners.

 

[Tim Gerard]

Thanks Alex. I stand corrected, I just haven't seen that painting then and don't have that particular book.

Here's another one I made:
