Working Boats : The Marine Art of Steve Rogers
Working Boats,The Marine Art of Steve Rogers, is a collection of fifty-eight landscape paintings depicting working boats within the ebb and flow of the Chesapeake Bay and coastal Maine. Rogers' intricately-painted canvasses realistically illustrate the waterways and wildlife where crabbers, oystermen, lobstermen and fishermen live and work. By painstakingly capturing the beauty and simplicity of these ecologically-challenged environments, Rogers, who lives in Lewes, Delaware, presents his richly-textured maritime scenes as both recognition and preservation of the American watermen culture and heritage.
