About The American Society of Marine Artists<br />

In the mid-1970’s a group of <strong>art</strong>ists, illustrators and <strong>art</strong> directors in Manhattan found themselves drawn together in pursuing their first love –<br />

sketching and painting ships and the sea. United by common persuits and ideals, their informal get-togethers became larger, longer and more<br />

frequent, and thus the American Society of Marine Artists was founded in 1978.<br />

Today, the 570-member ASMA is a non-profit educational organization whose purpose is to recognize and promote <strong>marine</strong> <strong>art</strong> and maritime<br />

history, and to encourage cooperation among <strong>art</strong>ists, historians, academics, enthusiasts and others engaged in activities relating to <strong>marine</strong> <strong>art</strong><br />

and maritime history. Since its founding, the Society has brought together some of America’s most talented <strong>con</strong>temporary <strong>art</strong>ists in the <strong>marine</strong><br />

<strong>art</strong> field. Widely respected by museums, galleries, naval maritime associations as well as devoted maritime <strong>art</strong> collectors, the American Society<br />

of Marine Artists advances its educational mission through Regional and National Exhibitions hosted by museums across the country and<br />

by publishing related exhibition catalogs as well as a qu<strong>art</strong>erly, ASMA News and Journal. The Society welcomes all to membership who are<br />

interested in America’s rich maritime heritage. One does not need to be an <strong>art</strong>ist to join and support the Society and its mission.<br />

America has a long history as a seafaring nation. Whether our last affair with the sea was a stroll on a sandy beach or an off-shore sail, we<br />

all share a special fascination for the sea and ships. Of course, the special world of <strong>marine</strong> <strong>art</strong> is not limited to ‘a painted ship upon a painted<br />

ocean’. As you will see attending the Exhibition in person, or browsing this comprehensive catalog, <strong>art</strong>ists today are inspired as well to depict<br />

breezy seashores, stark lighthouses, rocky coasts, a still pond or the denizens that inhabit the open ocean, and render them in every medium<br />

imagineable.<br />

Within the Society are the Fellows, who are responsible for sustaining and elevating the <strong>art</strong>istic standards of the Society. This group of 24 active<br />

Fellows and seven Fellows Emeritus <strong>con</strong>fer, through jurying, the Signature Memberships within the Society, as well as select, from hundreds<br />

of submissions, the best of our member’s works for national exhibitions.<br />

A high point for members and <strong>marine</strong> enthusiasts alike are our National Exhibitions that are hosted every three years by one or more museums.<br />

This one, the 15th, our most ambitious ever, presents 122 works that will be shown over a period of twenty-two months in eight museums<br />

and will cover a distance of nearly six thousand miles. We are proud to have these prestigious museums join dozens that have hosted ASMA<br />

exhibitions for over three decades.<br />

INTRODUCTION<br />

Walk through this exhibition and linger over a thrilling, crashing seascape. Marvel at a sculptor’s touch<br />

which brings metal or stone to life. Or pause for a quiet respite, and gaze over a still pond. What I hope<br />

impresses you when taking in this collection is what impressed me when I saw it complete for the first<br />

time – the wide variety of different inspirations, the full spectrum of mediums and techniques and the level<br />

of collective vision, talent and skill they represent. And imagine – they come from <strong>art</strong>ists in just about every<br />

state (plus a few other nations as well) – and are brought together in one place, for a short time only.<br />

Personally, as a p<strong>art</strong>icipating <strong>art</strong>ist in this show, I can tell you it is a thrill to be included in an exhibition<br />

of this stature, in venues of such esteem, and have my work seen by thousands of <strong>marine</strong> <strong>art</strong> enthusiasts<br />

(and the merely curious alike). And to think that I possibly made some stop and look, and better still,<br />

feel something.<br />

At the same time, as the Society’s current President, I can tell you that I and all of the Fellows of the 15th<br />

National Exhibition jury, and the members of the Exhibition Committee that organized the show and the<br />

Communications Committee that produced this catalog are very proud of the quality of the work created<br />

by our membership, which is quite evident as you look over the collection.<br />

What you see before you is an unbroken line <strong>con</strong>nected to centuries of earlier works. While many <strong>art</strong> forms<br />

find favor and become popular, only to be eclipsed by something new, representational depictions inspired by<br />

the sea, sea life, and seafaring can be found among the earliest works of human creativity, and will survive and thrive<br />

for centuries more. And I hope you agree – today it is as vibrant as ever, energized anew in 2011 with fresh visions from<br />

members of the American Society of Marine Artists in our 15th National Exhibition.<br />

The Cornell Museum of Art & American Culture is p<strong>art</strong> of Old School Square Cultural Arts Center, an<br />

award-winning National Historic Site, where beautifully restored, early 20 th century school buildings also<br />

feature the Crest Theatre and Vintage Gymnasium. By successfully combining historic preservation and<br />

the <strong>art</strong>s, Old School Square became the catalyst for the 1990’s renaissance of downtown Delray Beach, now<br />

<strong>con</strong>sidered one the hottest destinations in Florida. As Delray’s cultural center, located in the he<strong>art</strong> of the<br />

downtown, Old School Square is a community gathering place for a diverse schedule of events.<br />

The charming Cornell Museum is one of the surprises that people discover in Delray Beach. Originally<br />

the 1913 Delray Elementary school building, the Cornell offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The<br />

architecture, formally known as “Masonry Vernacular,” is what makes the building so unique in the<br />

downtown area. This style was used for several smaller buildings in the Old School Square Historic Arts District.<br />

Without the colorful exhibit banners and other signage, one would never guess that the building is actually a museum.<br />

During the restoration process, the original atrium and classrooms, which are now exhibition spaces, were restored to<br />

preserve the rare Dade County Pine floors, tall windows and open space. The only significant modification to the interior<br />

was to open the atrium up to the se<strong>con</strong>d floor, allowing for natural light to stream in and provide a more spacious feel.<br />

The first floor houses three galleries and the Angelique Tea Room, which is used for <strong>art</strong> classes, receptions and other<br />

special events. The se<strong>con</strong>d floor, which can be accessed by two grand staircases (or an elevator) has three exhibition<br />

galleries and the children’s gallery. Exhibits rotate every three<br />

to four months and feature an eclectic mix of local, national and<br />

international fine <strong>art</strong>, crafts and pop culture.<br />

ABOUT THE MUSEUMS<br />

The Mobile Museum of Art is the largest <strong>art</strong> museum on the Gulf Coast<br />

between New Orleans and Tampa. Besides being a busy port city, Mobile is<br />

located by the se<strong>con</strong>d largest river delta in the United States and is near Gulf beaches that attract hundreds of thousands<br />

of visitors annually. Of these, Dauphin Island is one of the country’s premier bird watching destinations. Founded in 1964,<br />

the Museum’s collections of American <strong>art</strong> from the 19th and 20th century prominently feature realist painting, including a<br />

wealth of maritime images.<br />

In short, Mobile is at the <strong>con</strong>fluence of several types of scenic environments which have long been the muse for <strong>marine</strong> <strong>art</strong>ists<br />

of all kinds. We are delighted to be able to host this exhibition of the finest <strong>con</strong>temporary <strong>art</strong>ists who share this passion for<br />

the activities, flora, fauna and sheer beauty of a coastal and maritime paradise.<br />

Art Museum of Southeast Texas mission: Through unique collections, exhibitions and public programs<br />

and outreach in the visual <strong>art</strong>s, our mission is to provide education, inspiration and creative vision<br />

throughout Southeast Texas. The purpose of the Art Museum of Southeast Texas is to collect, preserve,<br />

exhibit and interpret the <strong>art</strong>s with special attention to the fine and folk <strong>art</strong>s of the 19-21 centuries<br />

by providing <strong>con</strong>servation, preservation and exhibition of collections including docent-led tours,<br />

publications, symposia, film, lectures, and interdisciplinary programs.<br />

This museum was originally incorporated in 1950 as the Beaumont Art Museum. Housed in a rented<br />

historical home near the city business district, it was a volunteer-run space for local <strong>art</strong>ists to work,<br />

exhibit, and <strong>con</strong>duct classes. In 1956, increased interest led to a permanent home, a 2,000 sq. ft. facility at the city fairgrounds.<br />

In 1969, the museum moved again near downtown into a 5,000 sq. ft. donated house, renovated for exhibiting <strong>art</strong>. In 1972,<br />

the museum hired its first professional staff. With wide support, $4.2 million was raised for the <strong>con</strong>struction of a 22,000<br />

sq. ft. facility. In 1987, the museum reopened in downtown Beaumont on land leased from the City for 99 years at $1.00 per<br />

year. Convenient to public transit and major highways that cross the region, the renamed Art Museum of Southeast Texas<br />

(AMSET) reflects the institution’s expanded service area beyond Beaumont. The museum was accredited by the American<br />

Association of Museums in 1990 and again in December, 2008.<br />

The collection is currently comprised of approximately 1000 objects of 19 th -21 st<br />

century regional fine and folk <strong>art</strong>. Collections are enhanced by <strong>con</strong>temporary<br />

and historical exhibitions that lend critical <strong>con</strong>text to the collection.<br />

Education remains a major strength of the museum and programs are<br />

community oriented. The growth and development of programs such as<br />

the children’s computer lab, Art After School, Protégé High School Art<br />

Competition, Family Arts Days, Art-to-Go, a rotating interactive education<br />

gallery and the junior docent program make the museum a vital community<br />

resource and a respected <strong>art</strong>s institution in the region. The Art Museum of<br />

Southeast Texas is accredited through the American Association of Museums.<br />

ABOUT THE MUSEUMS<br />

When the Art Museum of South Texas opened its addition in 2006 by internationallyrecognized<br />

architect Ricardo Legorreta, it symbolized a marriage of two cultures: the<br />

vibrant architecture and colors of Mexico City combined with the metropolitan-style<br />

architecture of New York City by world-renowned architect Philip Johnson. Johnson’s<br />

gleaming white <strong>con</strong>crete Art Museum became a landmark on the Corpus Christi<br />

Bay when it opened in 1972. Since then, the Art Museum has been host to numerous<br />

exhibitions of increasing national significance, from historic Western <strong>art</strong> from Tulsa’s renowned Gilcrease Museum to the Chicano<br />

Art of the Cheech Marin Collection. On June 30 to August 26, 2012, the Art Museum of South Texas is proud to be hosting the 15 th<br />

National Exhibition of the American Society of Marine Artists (ASMA).<br />

Artists have long been drawn to this area for its Gulf of Mexico and Padre Island location. Important <strong>marine</strong> <strong>art</strong>ists like Kent Ullberg<br />

and Al Barnes reside here. Countless others have made a home in Corpus Christi, Rockport, or Port Aransas to take advantage of<br />

the rich <strong>marine</strong> subject matter.<br />

The Art Museum of South Texas, with its spacious galleries overlooking the water, showcases works of <strong>art</strong> in a wide range of media<br />

– from sculpture to painting – all focusing on fine <strong>art</strong> and crafts of the Americas. The Museum houses a 1,400-piece permanent<br />

collection, special traveling exhibitions, and a fun-filled ArtCade and Kids Zone for <strong>art</strong> enjoyment by children. The Museum’s Café<br />

provides popular lunchtime fare along with panoramic views of Corpus Christi Bay and the ship channel.<br />

As Corpus Christi has grown from a waterfront village to the<br />

6th most active U.S. port, the Art Museum of South Texas<br />

also has grown and expanded with it.<br />

The Museum of the Southwest houses over 12,000 works of <strong>art</strong> in its collection, including sculpture, early and<br />

<strong>con</strong>temporary Southwestern <strong>art</strong>, and rare Native American <strong>art</strong> and <strong>art</strong>ifacts. The museum also hosts up to ten<br />

exhibitions a year that feature the paintings, pottery, and sculpture of well-known national and international<br />

<strong>art</strong>ists as well as many amazing local <strong>art</strong>ists. Additionally, on display outside on the Museum Grounds is a<br />

permanent collection of beautiful stone and bronze sculptures.<br />

The Museum’s rich history begins with the dynamic family which owned the mansion. Fred and Juliette<br />

Turner built their home in 1936. Among the most impressive features of the mansion were the first swimming pool and first<br />

privately owned tennis courts in Midland County. The pool and tennis court were later removed for museum expansion.<br />

After the mansion and stables became the home of the Museum, expansions in 1970 (Thomas Galleries)<br />

and 1987 (Southwing) added much needed exhibition, collection storage, preparation and handling space.<br />

In 1972, a grant from the Blakemore Foundation allowed the Museum to build a Planetarium. The building,<br />

designed by noted architect Frank Welch, won the Texas Society of Architects’ Award for Excellence.<br />

In 1986, after a Junior League community needs assessment determined that a children’s museum would benefit Midland,<br />

Fredda Turner Durham gave a generous donation to assure the development of the new facility. The Children’s Museum was<br />

built on neighboring property given to the museum by a patron.<br />

The Museum was accredited by the AAM in June 1992, and again in 2002.<br />

The Museum is privately governed by a twenty-seven member Board of Trustees and has a full-time staff of eleven.<br />

ABOUT THE MUSEUMS<br />

The city of Stockton is located in the geographic center of California and adjacent to over<br />

1,000 miles of waterways that form the vast Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. From its Gold<br />

Rush beginnings to the present day, Stockton’s history has been shaped by its proximity to<br />

the rivers, sloughs and islands of this region.<br />

It was here that the storied river boats DELTA KING and DELTA QUEEN were built. The<br />

first “Caterpillar” tractor was designed and built in Stockton, along with a host of other<br />

machines and implements that have helped to transform the swamplands of the Delta into one of the world’s most productive<br />

agricultural regions. And ships from around the globe call at the Port of Stockton—California’s first inland seaport.<br />

Stockton is also the home of The Haggin Museum, which for 80 years has provided its visitors with opportunities to<br />

better understand and appreciate both <strong>art</strong> and history through displays of its core collections, temporary exhibitions and<br />

special programs.<br />

Its <strong>art</strong> collection includes paintings by such late 19th and early 20th century American and European <strong>art</strong>ists as Albert<br />

Bierstadt, Rosa Bonheur, William-Adolphe Bouguereau, William Bradford, Alfred Thomson Bricher, William Coulter, Jean-<br />

Léon Gérôme, Childe Hassam, Edward Lamson Henry, George Inness, William Keith, Daniel Ridgway Knight, Eugène-<br />

Joseph Verboeckhoven and Jehan-Georges Vibert. The Haggin also holds one of the largest collections of paintings by the<br />

famous American commercial <strong>art</strong>ist J. C. Leyendecker.<br />

Its history galleries provide a window on the past with displays that tell the story of Stockton, with special emphasis on its<br />

rich industrial past. Highlights include a 1918 Holt “Caterpillar” tractor<br />

and a beautiful 1927 Stephens Bros. runabout.<br />

Like The Haggin Museum, the American Society of Marine Artists’ 15th<br />

National Exhibition celebrates <strong>art</strong> and history, and we are proud to serve<br />

as its California venue.<br />

Coos Art Museum, of Coos Bay, Oregon is pleased to host the 15 th National Exhibition of<br />

the American Society of Marine Artists. Established in 1966, Coos Art Museum is the only<br />

<strong>art</strong> museum situated along Oregon’s coastline. The Museum is in an historic 1936 Art Deco<br />

building. It has six galleries that annually host up to 25 exhibitions, including exhibits from<br />

the 549-piece Permanent Collection of <strong>con</strong>temporary and Pacific Northwest <strong>art</strong>.<br />

Our mission statement: “Coos Art Museum is the cornerstone of visual <strong>art</strong>s on Oregon’s Southern Coast. Through collections,<br />

exhibitions and educational programs, we are building an <strong>art</strong>s and cultural community and promoting the appreciation,<br />

understanding and expression of visual <strong>art</strong>.”<br />

The Museum is key to revitalizing downtown Coos Bay. Tourism is a growth industry on the Oregon Coast and Coos<br />

Art Museum is one anchor of that industry. Located along one of the nation’s most dramatic coastlines, the Museum is an<br />

attraction for travelers along the famed 101 Coast Highway.<br />

P<strong>art</strong>icipation in this exhibition is an outgrowth of our ongoing programming. We have produced an annual maritime <strong>art</strong><br />

exhibition for 20 years and in 2008 accepted the invitation to host ASMA’s Western Regionals. Maritime traditions run deep<br />

in Coos Bay, the largest natural deep water port between Seattle and San Francisco. Our area was once a major ship building<br />

center and the world’s largest lumber shipping port. We believe that the National Maritime Art Exhibition will be highly<br />

valued in our community because of its local maritime history, traditions, and culture.<br />

Coos Art Museum acknowledges James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation of Portland, Oregon;<br />

Sause Brothers Ocean Towing Company of Coos Bay; Ocean Terminals Company of North Bend,<br />

Oregon; Coos Bay Ship Pilots Association; and the Oregon International Port of Coos Bay for<br />

ABOUT THE MUSEUMS<br />

The Minnesota Marine Art Museum (MMAM) features an <strong>art</strong> collection of historical<br />

significance uncommon to America’s mid-sized museums, and an ambitious roster of<br />

temporary exhibitions and programs relating to “great <strong>art</strong> inspired by water.” Perched<br />

on the banks of the Upper Mississippi River and surrounded by acres of native gardens,<br />

the Minnesota Marine Art Museum first opened its doors to the public in 2006. The<br />

MMAM’s focus on “great <strong>art</strong> inspired by water” relates to the local and regional<br />

community’s maritime heritage as one of America’s great historic river towns. Museum<br />

collections include historical <strong>marine</strong> <strong>art</strong>, Hudson River School and Luminist works, a<br />

substantial Impressionist collection, modern works by Picasso, Matisse, and O’Keeffe,<br />

and over 400 sculptures by <strong>con</strong>temporary folk <strong>art</strong>ists Leo and Marilyn Smith.<br />

The Museum is located at 800 Riverview Drive in Winona, Minnesota. More information can be found by visiting<br />

Low tide has left these Rockport skiffs jammed together at the dock, creating wonderful patterns with the sunlight and shadows.<br />

Color, texture, light and form combine to create a different abstraction each time the tide goes out. I enjoy the challenge of painting<br />

these colorful little boats stranded by the ever changing sea.<br />

Ah…….Summer! Is there anything better than being out on the water on a summer afternoon, mainsail full, a freshening breeze, the delightful creaking of a<br />

wooden hull and the warmth of the sun on face and arms? A group of S-Class sloops is seen here rounding a navigational buoy in Narragansett Bay during<br />

racing at the Herreshoff Classic Regatta. Each August, the Herreshoff Marine Museum in Bristol, RI, plays host to the owners of these venerable classics.

This Chesapeake Bay oyster buyboat replica was painted en plein air, my primary method of working, in St. Michael’s, MD.<br />

Whenever I go to that region to paint I head straight for the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum to see what’s in the water or<br />

being built by the local shipwrights. I’m rarely disappointed, as the area is a visual treasure trove and a <strong>marine</strong> <strong>art</strong>ist’s playground.<br />

The RANA and the MIMI was painted en plein air in late afternoon light, August 2001 in the Gloucester<br />

Harbor. My first en plein air painting trip to the fishing harbor and <strong>art</strong>ist colony of Gloucester, MA was<br />

the summer of 1996. Gloucester Harbor was a real fishing harbor, complete with old wooden boats and old<br />

buildings. Each time I returned to Gloucester, I saw and painted the same boats, but many of these boats<br />

and buildings have since disappeared.<br />

Opalescent Sea<br />

24 x 30, Oil<br />

So often we describe the ocean as blue, but the living reality surpasses monochrome. When I stand in front<br />

of this painting, I find myself not only at the ocean, but in it – I hear the surf, am enveloped in the color<br />

spectrum, taste the salt, and feel the breeze on my face. The very name – Opalescent Sea – reflects the<br />

tumultuous, joyous movement of brush strokes and color, capturing the essence of the coast.<br />

Sunrise at Sea: Symphony in Four Movements<br />

Based on Dvorák’s Symphony “From the New World”<br />

Each 11 x 18, Oil on Linen Laid on Panel<br />

Painting “en plein ear,” the <strong>art</strong>ist listened repeatedly to Antonín Dvorák’s Symphony Number 9 in E Minor “From the New World” to<br />

<strong>art</strong>iculate what the composer was communicating in each of the work’s four movements. Then, drawing on his experience of<br />

crossing the Atlantic in a sailboat, the <strong>art</strong>ist <strong>con</strong>veyed the composer’s offerings of ominous power in movement Number I, transcendental<br />

sublimity in II, transformative awe in III, and prevailing majesty in IV. It is Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition in reverse.

Shields are dynamic, fractionally rigged sailboats. Created for the Long Island Sound to elicit the best of a sailor’s ability<br />

in light or strong winds, there are now fleets across America. Inspired by the absolute beauty of a match race on a warm<br />

summer’s evening in a mild breeze on Oyster Bay, NY, SKIMMER vs. IVRE captures one beautiful facet of this fantastic S&S<br />

“one design.”<br />

This is a typical Wednesday summer night at the Washington Sailing Marina near National Airport, with the Washington<br />

This is a view of one of the first purpose-built warships manufactured by the U.S. Navy on the Great Lakes. Built in<br />

1810, the ONEIDA was a brig armed with 16 guns and used throughout the War of 1812. She is shown approaching<br />

the mouth of the Niagara River on Lake Ontario, an area guarded by Fort Niagara. She is accompanied by the<br />

USS SCOURGE, a merchant schooner <strong>con</strong>verted to a gunboat.<br />

Lost Artist, Lost Coast<br />

12 x 24, Oil on Linen<br />

This painting depicts Lost Coast area of Northern California. It is the only one I have ever painted with myself in it. David Thimgan, my late husband, took<br />

the photo in which I happened to be. David was a gifted historical painter and Fellow. I am standing on a rock with a large telephoto lens taking photos<br />

looking up the coast to the north. I really like the intense sunlight on the brightly colored seaweed, which low tide exposes on the rocks.


Chasm<br />

14.5 x 14, Oil on Panel<br />

This painting was st<strong>art</strong>ed on location overlooking the Pacific Ocean near Monterey. I<br />

developed it to a fairly high degree before leaving the site as I knew that I wanted to<br />

develop it into a finished combination en plein air/studio painting. I am adamantly opposed<br />

to introducing photographs into my <strong>art</strong>, so it is important that I leave the location with as<br />

much information as possible, giving me the freedom to translate what I have recorded<br />

into a work of <strong>art</strong>.<br />

Commissioned by the Chicago Yacht Club<br />

for the 100 th running of the Race to Mackinac<br />

official magazine cover, the painting depicts<br />

a blustery finish through the Straits<br />

of Mackinac, MI. The winds are often<br />

fickle, from the sustained violent storms<br />

of 1911, 1937 and 1970, to the expected midsummer’s<br />

pleasant zephyrs and drifters.<br />

The race from Chicago to Mackinac Island<br />

was first run in 1898.<br />

This painting was created from my imagination and memory of the sea along the Northeast coast. Since childhood I’ve<br />

been fascinated with the sea and the many effects created by changing weather. Over the years I’ve spent hours studying<br />

the sea first hand in order to portray its character and to capture its truth. Storm’s Wake shows the residual effects of<br />

a strong coastal storm and how the wind and ground swells perpetuate the sea’s motion after the storm has passed.<br />

Shallow Waters<br />

39 x 54, Oil on Gessoed Mahogany Panel<br />

At eighty-five years old I find that the painting paints itself; I just watch!<br />

You are a flying bug hovering about two inches above the surface of<br />

“Shallow Waters” seeing with your incredible flying bug eyes three<br />

different <strong>con</strong>es of vision: 1) the sunny, sandy bottom; 2) the rolling<br />

swells, and ; 3) four leading ships of the National Hospice Regatta<br />

Alliance National Championship race. But before you can tell who is<br />

winning a big fish eats you!


Blowing in the Wind<br />

30 x 38, Oil<br />

I love watching the wind billow out the spinnaker as the boat sails down wind. There are so many light shapes and<br />

shadow shapes in <strong>con</strong>stant motion as the puffs weaken and strengthen. The person on the spinnaker sheet is acutely<br />

aware of each puff’s nuance. For this painting I wanted to paint the glory of the “spinnaker.” The boat is insignificant<br />

and so is the crew. But the shapes - they are the “show.”<br />

The fisherman solidifies the scene with a warm <strong>con</strong>trast.<br />

My greatest joy is painting en plein air; expressing the feelings I get from the sights, sounds and smells of the place I have chosen to paint.<br />

Here the fog has burned away, the sun is out, accentuating the planes and crevices in the rocks. A breeze, along with the tide, brings<br />

lights to the water, and gently moves the tops of the vegetation. It’s Maine; a place to stir one’s soul.<br />

This is a view of the Casco Bay Bridge and the Portland, ME skyline from the South Portland side of the Fore River. Portland’s working<br />

waterfront includes the Portland-Montreal Pipe Line and a tanker unloading facility, which explains the large horizontal and vertical<br />

clearances. Despite its industrial nature, the curve of the span is beautiful, as are the red colors of the steelwork echoing the color of<br />

Portland’s brick buildings. What intrigued me are the cement piers and the protective structures around them, which were proven<br />

necessary after the tanker, JULIE N., struck the earlier span, the so-called “Million Dollar Bridge,” dumping nearly two hundred thousand<br />

gallons of oil into the river.<br />

In Cod We Trust<br />

It could be argued that without the abundance of cod, New England never would have been settled. For several hundred years, cod fishery<br />

played an integral p<strong>art</strong> of New England e<strong>con</strong>omy and culture, and the Massachusetts state house pays tribute to this legacy by way of a carved<br />

wooden “Sacred Cod” hanging in its chambers. This painting is inspired by this legacy, the fishermen, and the folklore. Given the size of the<br />

fish, it is a bit of a “Fish Tale.”

The ENTERPRISE was built in Cleveland in 1825 and was instrumental in accelerating the growth of Cleveland as she brought immigrants<br />

west to this booming town. By the mid-1830s the ENTERPRISE<br />

Although she set no records, her fast passages made her reputation and she was a favorite of shippers. Seen here, she prepares to<br />

For over two decades the British battle cruiser HMS HOOD was the largest warship in the world. However, because she was designed during the<br />

First World War on the antiquated <strong>con</strong>cept of sacrificing armor protection for speed, she was outclassed by 1941. Called upon to combat a vessel<br />

20 years more modern in the form of the German battleship BISMARCK, the HOOD was sunk after an engagement lasting only six minutes. Of a<br />

crew of 1,419, there were only three survivors.<br />

One of the few commercial fishing areas left in Florida is the sleepy west coast village of Cortez. Commercial boats and their gear<br />

crowd the piers while gulls demand their share of anything edible. The ever present scent of fish out of water, mixing with diesel<br />

fuel and tar, envelop the area and give it an authenticity that can’t be duplicated. It’s a little like a Hemingway novel come to life,<br />

drifts in calm water. She is lost in a world of her own, blissfully unaware of her surroundings or where she is floating, intent only on<br />

the peaceful melodies that she plays. Is she trying to draw the attention of the <strong>marine</strong> life below?<br />

Peter, having grown up on the coast, is renowned for both his portrayal of figurative work and classic sailing yachts.


Schooner BRILLIANT off Weekapaug<br />

WILLIAM G. HANSON<br />

Signature Member, ASMA<br />

This work, Schooner BRILLIANT off Weekapaug, is an example of the additional benefits of working in en plein air. While painting Spray Rock, a personal favorite<br />

subject, this beautiful schooner, out of Mystic Seaport, hugged the coast before tacking to Block Island. Any attempt of capturing the moment was left<br />

with my visual memory, recorded directly to the panel and <strong>art</strong>iculated back in the studio.<br />

Sculptured by Pacific Storms<br />

22 x 30, Acrylic<br />

Nothing but the Pacific lies between these dunes and Asia. Every winter the dunes bear the full brunt of our Oregon Coast gale-force winds which remodel<br />

them into these elegant pristine shapes. Quite ordinary at midday, they take on a special quality of light, shadow, and color in the early morning sun.


Paine’s Creek II<br />

24 x 36, Acrylic on Canvas<br />

H. HOWARD HEATH, JR.<br />

Signature Member, ASMA<br />

Many areas of <strong>art</strong>ful and photographic interest can be found on Cape Cod during any time of day or season. The cape’s sandy beaches, dunes, tidal<br />

creeks, sky, light, and effects of ocean currents on the shores combine to present endless opportunities of changing color and texture. The tranquil<br />

scene of Paine’s Creek II resulted from many visits there, a few color sketches, photographs, and memory recollections. The final painting, on<br />

stretched canvas, was finished in my studio.<br />

BERNARD KORITES<br />

The Clammer<br />

10 x 20, Oil on Panel<br />

This is a scene of Duxbury Bay in Duxbury, Massachusetts, my home town. It depicts a clammer returning with his catch at low tide late in the afternoon<br />

on a hot, humid summer day. A Marshall Sandpiper waits on the flats for the tide to return. On the hilltop to the left is the Miles Standish monument. My<br />

main objective in this painting was to capture the feeling of the stillness and the heavy, humid summer atmosphere.


Shore Light<br />

JAMES W. MAGNER<br />

Signature Member, ASMA<br />

Shore Light is a studio piece developed from an en plein air study painted in the late afternoon along the Connecticut coast. I was<br />

inspired by the late day sun and diffused light on the distant shore. This unique atmospheric <strong>con</strong>dition drew me to the subject.<br />

I developed quick color studies, which I relied on for the final work, to capture the rapidly changing light.<br />

Sachem’s Head, Afternoon Glare<br />

5 x 10, Alkyd on Panel<br />

Capturing the warmth and brilliance of the late afternoon sun required a poetic, rather than photographic, interpretation of this view of Sachem’s Head<br />

Harbor in Guilford, CT. In fact, many times while painting, I held one hand up to shield my eyes from the glare, as I struggled to record the details and<br />

beauty of the intensely bright scene.


Sunset, Quepos<br />

ANTHONY R. THOMPSON<br />

A recent trip to Costa Rica provided the background and inspiration for this work. I enjoyed a wide tropical beach with great<br />

surf and a fabulous sunset that became a much anticipated daily routine. In Sunset, Quepos, the sun has set, yet enough light<br />

remains to allow the viewer to distinguish the warm color before blue turns to gray.<br />

This work is from my latest plate, p<strong>art</strong> of the series inspired by early America’s Cup challenges.<br />

This was a time when the owners, crew, and the yachts were and remain the Titans of yachting.<br />

The subject is the 1903 America’s Cup challenge off New York, RELIANCE vs. SHAMROCK III.<br />

The challenge was to capture the power and grace of these magnificent vessels, to which all that follow are compared.<br />

This is the entrance to Rockport Harbor, Cape Ann, MA. My scratchboard rendering is brand new and based primarily on a photograph I took<br />

circa 1960. Many, many years ago, the building was a lobster pound and now it has become so popular, that it has been nick-named “Motif<br />

Number One.” Along the front are lobster trap floats, each one color coded to identify the registered lobster fisherman owners.<br />

Burnt Island is located near the entrance to Boothbay Harbor, Maine. I was attending a painting workshop. The class traveled to the<br />

island under less than ideal weather <strong>con</strong>ditions. While circling the base of the island lighthouse, I came across this view of the bell<br />

silhouetted against the fog shrouded sky and water. I knew instantly that I wanted to paint it, photographing it for future reference.<br />

JOANN A. BALLINGER<br />

Signature Member, ASMA<br />

This painting was done en plein air on a painting trip to Nantucket, MA. Nantucket is a beautiful island; there is inspiration everywhere<br />

you look. The late daylight was amazing, and I couldn’t wait to paint the scene. It was windy, and I had to paint fairly fast<br />

to capture the light that changes ever so quickly at that time of day. This painting was done on pastel sandpaper which allows for<br />

a very rich looking painting.<br />

DAVID W. SMITH<br />

Signature Member, ASMA<br />

Gloucester fishing schooners were known as the<br />

wonders of the maritime world. The combination of<br />

beauty, speed and seaworthiness, made it a superb<br />

fishing yacht. These vessels would carry onboard<br />

the working dories. Usually a crew of two men per<br />

dory would set out from the mother ship to set their<br />

hook-laden lines for up to a mile or more in search of<br />

Codfish. Despite the simplicity of design of the dory,<br />

they were known for their ruggedness and rowing<br />

ease. They could carry a very heavy load for their size<br />

while retaining great stability. They were inexpensive<br />

to build and could be stacked or nested inside one<br />

another to be stored on deck of the schooners.<br />

LORETTA KRUPINSKI<br />

Fellow, ASMA<br />

The CORA CRESSY began life in 1902 from the Percy & Small Shipyard in Bath, ME. She was a five masted schooner, 273 feet long, 45 feet wide and<br />

drew a whopping 27 feet. The CRESSY delivered coal along the east coast for many years until she became a floating Boston nightclub, then a lobster<br />

pound back in Maine. The days of the big schooner began in the last qu<strong>art</strong>er of the nineteenth century as sail was giving way to steam.<br />

Surfer’s Delight<br />

20 x 30, Tempera<br />

GUY MORROW<br />

Surfer’s Delight is based on the <strong>art</strong>ist’s experience as a young surfer, who spent many years riding the waves of the Texas Gulf Coast. Surfing was about<br />

sharing friendship, tuning into the rhythm of the seas, experiencing the magic of catching a wave and being in harmony with the power and everchanging<br />

moods of the sea. I work to capture these feelings in the soft delicate medium of egg-tempera.<br />

A Time for Rest<br />

18 x 30, Oil and Palette Knife<br />

This lovely, authentic New England-style village, with its cobblestone streets, sits beside Ports O’ Call Harbor in San Pedro, CA, the largest port in the<br />

United States. Although it is obviously an extremely busy port, here we see a group of boats quietly sitting at rest.


Wine Barrel Boats<br />

16 x 20, Oil<br />

During a paint trip to Portugal, I was fascinated with the history of Port wines. Most vineyards are located in the Douro<br />

Valley where grapes <strong>con</strong>tinue to be hand harvested. Originally, wine was transported down the Douro River to Porto in<br />

wine barrel boats. Production <strong>con</strong>tinued from the “Quintas,” or wineries located on the banks of the river. Today, transport<br />

is handled through more modern methods; however, wine barrel boats are still seen on the water as an historic reminder.<br />

On a clear spring morning at Cabrillo National Monument, the wildflowers were blooming as I looked out over San Diego<br />

Bay to paint this scene. What inspired me about this view was that, at a glance, you could see all the activity out on the<br />

water, with the many marinas, the <strong>marine</strong> research facilities, the Navy shipyards, and San Diego Harbor. I tried to capture<br />

the excitement of <strong>marine</strong> activity in a beautiful setting.<br />

LINDA M. NORTON<br />

Signature Member, ASMA<br />

During the war of 1812, American PRIVATEER LYNX harassed the British Navy. After her capture she was taken to England where her<br />

dimensions were recorded by the British Admiralty. In 2001 this reproduction, built by Rockport Marine, was launched in Rockport,<br />

ME. Having spent two years observing the building, I was intrigued by the complex rigging of the topmast at the launching. This<br />

depiction reveals its details against the cool blue sky.<br />

There is a certain tranquility during a morning low tide. The lone dory on the flats has not yet been hauled out, and there is no<br />

other activity on the bay. The calm sea in the distance gives the feeling of an Indian Summer day. This painting was inspired by<br />

Sagadahoc Bay in mid-coast Maine, and is the result of over 40 years of observations and recollections. It was painted primarily<br />

en plein air with liberal <strong>art</strong>istic interpretations.<br />

16 x 20, Oil on canvas<br />

In Southern Maryland, Deep Point juts into the western side of the St. Mary’s River. Over the years the 30-foot bluff has<br />

been alternately eroded by southerly and northerly winds and in such a way that the Miocene era fossils and clays have<br />

formed a small lagoon. Around the area grows a luxuriant matt of salt marsh grasses. By spring, winter’s efforts have<br />

made the once orderly growth look like tousled, sandy hair.<br />

Night Breakers<br />

12 x 16, Oil on Panel<br />

This work is a depiction of the night surf off a Cape Cod beach under bright moonlight. It was painted in the <strong>art</strong>ist’s studio mainly from<br />

memory and a few sketches done at the scene. In this work, the <strong>art</strong>ist intended to <strong>con</strong>vey the movement, power, and mystery of the night sea.

Life aboard this small coastal tanker includes the practice of “dogging” the 4 to 8 afternoon watch. This allows the 4 to 8 and the 8 to 12 watch standers<br />

to eat dinner. Getting to and from the galley located back aft can sometimes be stressful!<br />

October, Through the Fog<br />

8 x 20 inches, Oil on Linen<br />

The painting aims to capture the melancholy of a rainy, fall day. The wave forms are languid: long and lazy, and the water reflects the murky grays of the<br />

heavy sky. Perhaps due to light sensitivity that caused paralyzing headaches as a child, I have always found comfort in the muted tones of an overcast day.<br />

The painting is entirely a work of fiction, created from imagination, supported by years of study of the anatomy and nature of the sea.


Forgotten Beach<br />

18 x 36, Oil<br />

DEBRA NADELHOFFER<br />

Attracted to the natural rhythm of line, masses, and values from the marsh to the strip of sandy shoreline, I formed the abstract shapes of grasses and mud<br />

in darks and designed the interlocking shapes with the water. Wind in the grasses and in the water adds movement to the deserted scene. The gray sky is<br />

a perfect background for the light beach.<br />

Scrimshaw on Woolly Mammoth Ivory<br />

The archetypal man of the sea – he transcends all cultures<br />

and eras. This piece was inspired by the courage and<br />

fortitude of those who make a living from the sea.<br />

The subject’s weathered face shows the wisdom he has<br />

gained from his efforts. This was a p<strong>art</strong>icularly challenging<br />

piece of scrimshaw because of the reverse use of white<br />

line on black.


Hawaii Wave<br />

11 x 11 x 10, Bronze<br />

This sculpture represents the mounting up of a wave at the instant it is about to splash<br />

down, while keeping a balanced asymmetrical composition. Contrasting textures and colors<br />

enhance the <strong>marine</strong> effect. The blues and whites are patinas, while the golden sides are<br />

pure, highly polished bronze. Cast in the “lost wax” technique, Hawaii Wave was inspired by<br />

my love of watching the ever changing seas. The challenge was to portray light elements –<br />

water and foam – with a heavy material, bronze<br />

From a Junk, by poet Wallace Stevens:<br />

A great fish plunges in the dark,<br />

Its fins of rutted silver; sides,<br />

Belabored with a foamy light;<br />

And back, brilliant with scaly salt,<br />

It glistens in the flapping wind,<br />

Burns there and glistens, wide and wide,<br />

Under the five-horned stars of night,<br />

In wind and wave…….It is the moon.<br />

Sanctuary: the title speaks for itself, as I wanted the viewer to see the polar bear in its cold habitat in the far north. The weather is slowly<br />

warming; some ice is disappearing; and this bear - on his sanctuary of a small iceberg - is looking for a larger ice flow.<br />

Cincinnati Public Landing 1926<br />

The steamer QUEEN CITY, shown leaving the Cincinnati Public Landing in 1926, ran packet service from Cincinnati to Pittsburg for<br />

more than 40 years. This wonderful stern wheel steamboat, a beloved fixture to towns along the Ohio River, carried freight and<br />

passengers in the finest style of the day. During the Great Depression, her owners maintained her like a yacht, keeping her in service<br />

long after she failed to make a profit. The famous Roebling Bridge still stands on the waterfront.

The single-screw tug, MISS YVETTE, is slowly but steadily moving a large barge out of New Bedford. New Bedford is one of<br />

The U.S. Navy hospital ship, USS HOPE (AH-7,) finishes loading her remaining patients in preparation for leaving the island of Okinawa<br />

for Guam on May 12, 1945. During her short stay of two days, having arrived on May 10 from Saipan, the Hope received 676 patients from<br />

ships that were either sunk or damaged on the “Picket Line.” In addition, 186 Japanese planes were “splashed” during the HOPE’S stay in<br />

Ashe to Ash was inspired during a walk on the southernmost tip of Cape May. This place, weathered by wind and<br />

tide, is where the currents of the Delaware rush to meet the Atlantic and play havoc on many a sailor caught in<br />

between. The sun-bleached hull created the only <strong>con</strong>trast. Its pastel colors, muted but obvious in the winter sun,<br />

became the story of Ashe, the wood often used…, to Ash, the weathered remains now immortalized in paint.<br />

Fog on the Coast was painted on site in a single session at Georgetown, ME. I enjoy painting the rockbound coast, and<br />

had hoped to benefit from favorable <strong>con</strong>ditions and strong light for a summer afternoon’s work. Instead, the weather<br />

remained inclement, but this offered a silver lining. The dense atmosphere held for several hours, allowing for a subtle<br />

study in grays and tans, with an emphasis on the serrated forms where land and water meet.<br />

Standing on the bayshore beach of my New Jersey hometown, I was intrigued by the wavy whorl of grass clumps casting shadow patterns on the<br />

sand. After masking whites, highlights, shell, and baby crab, I created sand texture by laying a base of circular undulations with yellow ochre on<br />

which I flicked succeeding colors off with a toothbrush to form hills and valleys. My “sand“was ready for swirling green leaves, pearly shell and<br />

crab, cobalt shadows. It’s all about color.

The Essence of Water<br />

Rendering every nuance of the oceans movement and the shape of its waves is a challenge, but a welcomed challenge to the seascape <strong>art</strong>ist. It can become<br />

a life long journey. And during this journey, a realization may occur that there is something even deeper about the ocean to communicate, something beyond<br />

the rendering of water, and that something is its essence.

It was early in the morning as I headed up the Cape Fear River. I was impressed with the unusual visual effect on the river. The<br />

water appeared almost like liquid metal. My intent was to capture this moment photographically for a later painting. I did not<br />

realize that the tanker KIMBERLEY was at this moment being impounded by federal marshals for non-payment of bills. Several<br />

months passed before the ship was finally auctioned off in Wilmington, NC.

Blue Boat was inspired by a trip with my friend and fellow <strong>art</strong>ist Stephen Bergstrom who flew us to Southeast Alaska in<br />

The whale shark is the largest fish in the sea and can grow to 60 feet long. Their main food is plankton being filter feeders similar to whales.<br />

The inspiration for the piece came when the <strong>art</strong>ist swam with four whale sharks in 2009. Being bumped on a couple of occasions by them was exciting.<br />

Fond recollections flowed while making this piece. It is made from structural laminate with a black walnut base and finished with Tung oil.<br />

Drifting Into Honfleur<br />

24 x 36, Oil<br />

Honfleur, a town in Normandy, France, is a place that I frequent on my yearly painting trips. A city full of <strong>con</strong>trasts, Honfleur is surrounded by<br />

ancient buildings which house some of today’s most exclusive hotels, shops and restaurants. Honfleur grew from <strong>con</strong>stant change throughout its<br />

history. It was where the Impressionists met and painted, which gives an <strong>art</strong>ist a sense of history while painting there.


The Mesier Mill, 1695<br />

20 x 30, Oil on canvas<br />

L.F. TANTILLO<br />

Fellow, ASMA<br />

2011 marks the tenth anniversary of Nine/Eleven. In the late 1600s the ancestors of Andrew Hendricks operated a windmill on that property.<br />

I was commissioned to depict the site as it might have appeared at that time. The project required substantial research. In the end I was<br />

able to create a credible rendition of the site based on historic documentation. My image represents the Mesier Mill, circa 1695, as seen<br />

from the Hudson River in the approximate location of Ground Zero.<br />

LISA EGELI<br />

Signature Member, ASMA<br />

The soft shorelines of Deep Cove Creek are protected by the fact that the waters here are only deep enough for canoes and birds,<br />

giving it a unique peacefulness.<br />

Evening Sigh<br />

18 x 24, Oil on linen


Beach Morning<br />

30 x 36, Oil<br />

Residing near Hilton Head Island, SC, I am fortunate to live in close proximity to the beach. I often go to view the sunrise.<br />

Arriving while it is still dark, I never know what the light effect or cloud formation will be. On this p<strong>art</strong>icular October<br />

morning, the structure of the clouds and the golden glow of the horizon were magical. I was immediately inspired to<br />

capture the moment on canvas.<br />

WILLIAM R. DAVIS<br />

Fellow, ASMA<br />

Schooner off East Dennis<br />

18 x 36, Oil on canvas<br />

This work allowed me to express my painting nostalgic views in a modern world. It is a composite of two en plein air works done in East Dennis, MA, and<br />

another oil sketch of the sky and water. The beach, flats, and rocks are very much real spots on the north side of Cape Cod. The schooner in the distance<br />

allowed me to turn back to a time when Cape Cod Bay was full of sailing vessels heading back and forth to Provincetown.


Amistad<br />

15 x 30, Oil on Canvas<br />

WILLIAM P. STORCK<br />

William Storck often draws inspiration from the many historic schooners that annually visit the Chesapeake Bay. In his painting Amistad, we see several<br />

topsail schooners waiting for the wind on a placid evening in the lower Chesapeake. The <strong>art</strong>ist prefers painting “living” vessels that he can observe firsthand,<br />

directly from nature. Making small studies from his boat, he then uses them in his studio to complete larger finished oils.<br />

WEST FRASER<br />

Fellow, ASMA<br />

Ancient Curves<br />

18 x 24, Oil on Linen panel<br />

On cool, crisp summer mornings like this the fishermen are certainly out; I’m out painting, and the Hurricane Island, Outward Bound<br />

boats are dep<strong>art</strong>ing their campsite. Painted on Hourglass Island in Penobscot Bay, ME, lobster fisherman Steve Alley is seen hauling<br />

traps aboard Norma Jean out of Vinalhaven.
