My friend Jack Chesterman, who has died aged 84, was a former art lecturer at Leeds Metropolitan University who developed a large body of artistic work depicting the life of the sea. One of his specialities was watercolour paintings of boat hulls.
Jack regularly exhibited his work, especially in his later years, including through solo shows at Dean Clough galleries in Halifax; the Ferens in Hull; Shetland Museum and Archive in Lerwick; the Gallery in Oldham; the ISIA gallery in Urbino, Italy; and in 2018 at the Maritime Museum of Tasmania in Hobart, Australia.
