“The art chooses you, not the other way round,” says Walton, who is known for his detailed renderings of ships and boats and those who handle them.

“My grandfather was a talented watercolorist,” the 57-year old Briton says. “My interest in art began with him, and as I had a modicum of talent, I ended up with a few school art prizes and found myself pursuing an artistic career.”
