Solomons Spark (Open Edition)

The Story

A large blue and white firework exploding over the water in Solomons Island, Maryland, with a waterfront restaurant and the Governor Thomas Johnson Memorial Bridge visible in the background.

The Location

Solomons Island marks its summers with fireworks over the Patuxent River — the bridge lit up, the boardwalk glowing, and the whole community gathered at the waterfront. These celebrations are as much a part of the Bay's rhythm as the tides.

Artist's Perspective

"Solomons on the Fourth is pure Chesapeake celebration — the bridge lit up, the boardwalk glowing, and fireworks reflecting off the Patuxent. I set up on the rocks across the harbor for the widest possible view. The reflection is half the photograph." — Ryan Lott

Curator's Recommendation

The panoramic format makes this piece ideal for wide wall spaces, above a sofa or credenza. Available as a fine art paper print or archival-quality framed canvas in white or black.

Print Quality

Archival-Quality Canvas. Made in the USA with globally sourced materials.

Every Chesapeake Focus print is produced on archival-grade poly-cotton canvas using UL GREENGUARD GOLD certified inks — water resistant, fade resistant, and anti-yellowing. Each canvas is hand-stretched over kiln-dried stretcher bars that are knot-free and warp-free, then finished with your choice of hardwood floater frame in matte black, white, brown, or natural. Ready to hang right out of the box.

Stretcher bars sourced from FSC-certified, sustainably managed forests — a quiet nod to the landscapes our work celebrates.
