The “Lucky Lady” is a boat then owned by the local Harbormaster, Tommy Sassard in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. As a boy, I lived next door to Tommy and his wife, Betty. Tommy was, I think the kindest, gentlest, hardest working man I ever met. As a young boy I must have tormented them with my frequent visits and adventures around their house in the woods, but he never let it show. I’d visit him as he repaired lobster traps or painted buoys asking him how things worked… it was a lot. I was a lot. But Tommy had this boat which he kept in immaculate order despite it being decades old. It was heavy, slow, but a workhorse of a boat. It was also this uniquely colored reddish violet. Every day I can remember until I left for the Academy I saw that boat at its mooring 200 yards out from the dock. It was one of the first paintings I felt I did a really good job with. I wanted to capture the gentle reflection in the water, and the light and shadow the boat and skiff cast.
This painting creates a peaceful scene that I loved creating. I hope it brings you that same sense of quiet calm in your space as well.
Each print is produced as part of a fixed, limited edition of 100 and is individually signed and numbered by the artist. Once an edition is fully collected, it is permanently closed and not reproduced.
The work is printed on 315 gsm (20 mil) 100% cotton rag, an archival fine art paper selected for its ability to retain tonal depth and subtle variation. The surface has a soft, matte texture with a natural warmth that closely reflects the character of the original watercolor.
Each print is prepared in the studio and presented matted in white with a rigid backing, then enclosed in protective, weather-resistant packaging for shipment.
A certificate of authenticity accompanies every piece, verifying its place within the edition and including a unique identifying number recorded by the artist.
As editions close over time, each print becomes part of a finite body of work held in private collections.
