 An Oysterman at Rest, 8 x 11.5 in., graphite & ink on paper (photo reference credited to Robert de Gast) This is my latest drawing for the Forged by Water series and is titled "An Oystermen at Rest". It's inspired by the photography of the late Robert de Gast, one of the preeminent photographers of the Chesapeake Bay and the watermen working its waters.
The particular image I referenced is from an exhibition of his work put together by the CHESAPEAKE BAY MARITIME MUSEUM called "Robert de Gast’s Chesapeake". More information about this exhibition can be found at www.robertdegastschesapeake.org. If interested in owning this drawing, or other drawings from the Forged by Water series, contact me directly at [email protected].

Green Street Snow Hill, MD 21863 410-632-3555 [email protected] bishopsstock.com I'm excited to announce that I currently have new artwork available at BISHOP'S STOCK GALLERY. These pieces are from a collection of new drawings titled Forged by Water, an ongoing series attempting to capture the rugged and gritty nature of life as a Chesapeake Bay waterman. The title of the artwork here is "Mud Rock Oysters" and depicts waterman PT Hambleton of Deal Island, MD in action. Most of the drawings currently in the series originated in the photography of Jay Fleming, one of Maryland's most skilled photographers (please check out his work here ). My hope is that I've done justice to Jay's excellent work as well as to the lives of the watermen and those who work within that industry.
