Rule Britannia

I was so surprised to see these sketches of the interiors created by Sir Hugh Casson for the Royal yacht Britannia; their fluid and un detailed style are incredibly artful, but I had imagined that a submission of this kind would be very formal indeed. Clearly I was wrong, the paintings reflect the relaxed atmosphere that was desired on the yacht and they do reflect what was created on board very closely. It's a shame there is little room for such beautiful presentations these days! - maybe I should work for the Royal family.
