Description

Marshallberg is a quiet, quaint fishing community in “Down East” North Carolina and was first settled in the late 1700s. Historically, the lifeblood of the residents has been fishing, crabbing, and oystering, as well as boat building, although much less so today. Several of the current resident’s lineage extends back to the original founders of the community and to visit this area is to feel like you have stepped back in time.

I love the harbor here and the colors and smells of the coast. I tried to capture the working nature of the town and felt like it was best represented as an oil painting, which was done digitally. It looks great on canvas and the fabric adds a nice texture to the scene.
