Fisherman's Dory (Sunset)

Chatham in June "Old wooden dories are disappearing from the shoreline. Now everyone uses aluminum or fiberglass vessels – longer life span with less upkeep. This freshly painted specimen caught my eye on a calm night just before sunset. I was fascinated by the altered colors in the reflection and the mottling caused by the sun glancing off the rippled surface of the water. This image won an award for being one of the 50 best magazine covers in the nation. It was the only one that didn’t have someone’s face on it. The winner that year was an image of Jessica Rabbit (Roger Rabbit’s girlfriend in the movie “Who Framed Roger Rabbit). She graced the cover of the November issue of Playboy Magazine in 1988. I never stood a chance of winning against that kind of competition." -Jon Vaughan, Photographer Fine Art 8” x 10” Photograph by Jon Vaughan, dry mounted on acid-free foam board, custom cut and hinged on an acid-free matte.

It is an open edition print on archival pulp paper with archival pigment inks.

The print is permanently dry mounted on acid-free foam board. Then an acid and lignin free mat (Crescent Select - White Sands) is custom cut and museum hinged to the mounting board. The finished piece is protected in a custom sleeve of high clarity archival Mylar film. All of the mounting, matting and framing is done at Yankee Ingenuity.
