The Murphy's Rest (Open Edition)

The Story

A white Chesapeake Bay workboat named Miss Murphy II docked at wooden pilings under a soft blue and gold sunset sky.

The Location

Island Creek, St George Island, Piney Point, MD.

Artist's Perspective

"The Miss Murphy II is a working vessel, not a museum piece. The shamrocks on the bow, the rigging, the wear on the hull — every mark tells a story of seasons on the water. I shot from water level to give the boat the stature it deserves." — Ryan Lott

Curator's Recommendation

The horizontal orientation (landscape cut) makes this piece well-suited for living rooms, offices, and above fireplaces. Available as a fine art paper print or archival-quality framed canvas in white or black. Particularly well-suited for high-traffic spaces where visual impact is paramount.

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.
