One evening, while on the Turkey Foot Lake in Akron, Ohio, artist
John Weiss saw a small family on their boat and the scene resonated
with him. Musing on the subject of family relationships and childhood
memories, he went back to the time his own father rented a row boat
and took his brother and John fishing.
The result of this inspiration is Preparing
for the Feast, a wonderfully backlit image of a father and
son fishing with their faithful golden retriever.
"I enjoy painting things people can relate to," John Weiss
says, "perhaps because I can connect to them myself.They're
a familiar part of everyday life we can understand and enjoy. Some
of my paintings tell stories, some focus on man's best friend and
then there are those that capture the emotions of life. One of the
jobs of an artist is to share with the world the moments which can
only be described through their medium. Preparing
for the Feast is one of those paintings.

Christopher Blossom, one of today’s most noted marine artists,
joins his appreciation for the beauty and menace of the sea with
his passion for maritime history. His paintings hang in major museums
in the U.S. and he is the past president of the American Society
of Marine Artists.“I’m always looking for a new image
that will inspire me,” says Blossom.“In some cases it
is a view from another boat, in others it’s a bird’s-eye
view.” Blossom is known among his peers for creating images
that go beyond the standard marine genre paintings. His eye for
design and skills with lighting are as evident in his landscapes
as in his paintings of seagoing vessels.
“Most of my paintings are works of design, light and shadow
rather than a re-creation of a specific sailing experience,”
he says.“My interests almost always lie in the composition,
the contrast, and the lighting conditions.” Blossom captures
them so well that you might want to join him on his ongoing search
for perfect sailing scenes, but fortunately for us. “I enjoy
bringing these places to you,” he says.

“I have always enjoyed painting the arrival and departure of
vessels,” says artist Christopher Blossom.“Regardless
of the excitement or anticipation of the voyage to come, when setting
out there is an underlying level of apprehension.The ocean can be
unforgiving.With the satisfaction of a successfully completed trip,
there is always a feeling of relief mixed with thoughts of homecoming.”
The Greenwich Workshop is proud to celebrate Blossom’s homecoming,
as he returns to his collectors with his first Fine Art Limited
Edition Canvas, Afternoon Arrival, Gloucester.The
artist captures a moment in the early 20th century as the fishing
schooner Monitor slides quietly into Gloucester, Massachusetts’
inner harbor in the late afternoon.
