Available – Open Edition | 11” × 14” Prints
This painting began with a photograph my sister-in-law, Erica McPhee, took at Samples Shipyard in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. She sent it to me after spending time there with my brother, and I immediately connected with the quiet strength of the scene.
While the painting began with Erica's photograph, I made compositional changes along the way, including adding the lobster buoy in the foreground to strengthen the sense of depth and draw the viewer into the scene.
The boat was tied alongside the dock awaiting restoration. It had clearly spent years working the coast, and although its best days might have appeared behind it, its story wasn't finished. Since this painting was completed, the boat has been fully restored and returned to the Maine coast where it belongs. That is where the title, Resilience, comes from.
I've always been drawn to subjects shaped by time, weather, and service. Boats like this aren't beautiful because they're perfect. They're beautiful because they've earned every mark they carry. They remind me that the things—and the people—that have weathered the most often have the most to give.
The original oil painting was created as a gift for my brother, making this one of the more personal pieces I've shared publicly. I'm pleased to offer it as an open-edition print for those who appreciate the character of the working waterfront and the stories that endure long after the paint has weathered and the wood has aged.
Resilience is available as an 11” × 14” open-edition fine art print.
Each print is produced on 200gsm Enhanced Matte Art paper, selected for its smooth matte finish and reproduction of the character and color of the original painting.
Prints are supplied loose with a rigid backing board and enclosed in an individual protective clear sleeve. They are not mounted or matted, allowing you to choose framing that best suits your home.
Open-edition prints are unsigned and unnumbered, with no limit on the number produced. Each print is made to order and shipped directly to you by our professional printing partner.
Room images are provided to help visualize how the artwork may look when framed and displayed in your home.
