Commercial Fishing Boats

About This Group

Please examine them and then, click on the IMAGES and experience the work of the commercial fisherman and his boats. Then, click on MEMBERS and you will find a diverse group of artists who are full-time and part-time artists and who all have a sincere interest in showcasing the work of fishing boats.

PLEASE READ ALL RULES OF THIS CONTEST CAREFULLY. IF YOUR ENTRY DOES NOT MEET THE RULES, IT WILL BE REJECTED WITHOUT NOTICE.
This group is for drawings or paintings in any media of commercial fishing boats either fishing, traveling or at rest and for commercial fishing gear. Paintings representing all types of commercial fishing activities are acceptable here. This is the group for your modern fishing boats as well as those out of the past. Digital artwork and/or photos are not accepted.

The commercial fishing industry is vibrant throghout the world. Our gallery will take you from europe to Canada, down the Atlantic coast to Florida and the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico and then on the the Great Lakes, inland waters and the Pacific coast to Alaska. We are painting modern fishing vessels as well as those long past from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. This is truly a home port for all commercial fishing boats. We hope you will enjoy it.

The painting on the left is my rendition of dory trawling for Haddock aboard a Gloucester schooner on Georges Banks from an old sketch. The last dory is coming alongside to be hauled aboard while the crew straightens our and baits the trawls and the camtain's Newfoundland Dog looks on.
