Much to my surprise last week, there was another Buy boat anchored at the Crisfield County dock. I could not resist to get a shot of her before she steamed out into the Tangier Sound and off into the sunset.

- I am an established folk artist, who enjoys tinkering with the digital camera, thanks to my wife, who is a professional photographer. My subject matters in art lean towards coastal, and other water scenes, as well as Vietnam War folk art. I was a USMC door gunner in Vietnam, 66-67, serving at Dong Ha and Marble Mountain. I received the Purple Heart.

What an amazing photo! Are you going to paint this scene? It could be a series featuring these boats! I love them! Wish I could see one in person!
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, it is always a pleasure hearing from you. Thank you for appreciating one of the last working vessels on the Chesapeake. I will need to do some research on these beautiful boats, but from what I have heard from the local waterman, there are less than 12 still operating. Like the Skipjack and the Buyboats, an era long gone and will not return. I did paint the Captain Woods Buy Boat, and is currently hanging in an art gallery. The next time I get by there I will take a photo of it and post it.
