USA 2016
We went to USA in September 2016. These next set of images are from just a few of the places that we visited. It is a fantastic place to explore. These images are from Boston and other places and represent a few of the buildings and architectural features that were photographed at the time. Only one problem, you’re never there long enough so much to see and experience.
This is the third of a number of postings.
Also known as Fort Pickering Light, this is one of three lighthouses guiding boats into Salem Harbor in Massachusetts. The outermost of the three lights on Baker's Island can be seen in the distance at the far right of this photo.

Thanks Mary and Donna (Jim to ) for the wonderful day of sunshine, good food and great friendship.
It was so lovely standing with you with the sea to our backs and the wind in our hair. And great work by "our" cameraman.

Salem was the port
Peabody Essex Museum- Salem, MA:
My love stared out the windows of this ancient chinese house that was taken apart and restored in this museum...
The MARY POWELL was legendary. When she entered the waters of the Hudson, she was fast becoming the echo of American folklore. Artists who were known for their maritime ship portraits didn't cease producing subjects of the "Queen". Such as shown here in the painting done by James Bard which depict MARY POWELL in her first appearance. During her career she encountered several changes and one lengthening.
A true artist is one who can use few tools to bring about the greatest works. My tools are 'few', yet I am able to produce large and small pieces that bewilder -even myself. But I know this isn't something I can lay credit to. However, from the space that is viewed, I'm here day and night doing fabulous things that is impossible to fathom with words.
This small area is where creativity begins and ends. An area that is filled with more references than tools. A place where the imagination is filled with wonderful thoughts and the process begins after a prayer has been uttered. Here, I can visualize great pieces and bring them to pass -with or without fanfare...but rather, with confidence.
As it is written: "Therefore, cast not away your CONFIDENCE which has great reward. For you have need of ENDURANCE -so that after you have done the will of the Ftaher, you may receive the promise." -Hebrews 10:35-36
I devote and dedicate this Scripture to those who have supported my journey and encouraged me to stay "strong" and "fight the good fight" -not just with their words but with their resources. Had it not been for these unselfish spirits my skills would have been in obscurity.
Yes, this is the 'artist' workspace' - a little area with alot of delivery...to the world.
Drafting any type of plan is time-consuming and it takes alot of research and knowledge of the subject to have a worthy and presentable 'delivery'. Such is the case with this recent project of the famed MARY POWELL.
I have always been scrutinized for my accuracy and detail, but I encourage those who face similiar experiences to overlook the 'nay-sayers' and just 'BE'! Overall, your skills will shine and you will, indeed, have a strong, if not robust, following. We are ALL blessed with some type of gift(s) that we can share with the world...and its by FAITH that those gifts will shine if one can believe and operate in the belief.
The maritime was not my friend in my early years. I had to endure much prejudice and back-biting by 'many' in this field; but by remaining "strong and of good courage" I weathered the storms to be the forerunner of the northeastern steamboats as a modelmaker -just one of the gifts given by "the Father of Lights". True collectors and followers know this and realize the rarity of these works that are coming out of Massachusetts 'today'.
This plan of the MARY POWELL, for accuracy, had to be based upon the scale drawing of her vertical beam engine. From that drawing I was able to 'build' the profile of her appearance when she first entered service in 1861...the beginning of America's Civil War.
Because of my thirty year tenure as a modelbuilder of Northeastern steamboats, there has never been a plan produced on MARY POWELL in the 1861 version. This is the first to come into the amercan maritime as are all the other plans I produced on these vessels. Therefore, none of these models can be copied which make them rare by collectible standards.
