Beam Trawler, Thomas Whalen on an Evening Tide Limited Edition of 20

Don printed this reduction woodcut in the studio that occupied the back portion of his first gallery Piscataqua Fine Arts, on Ceres Street, in Portsmouth, NH. The subject, a Boston fishing trawler named Thomas Whalen, was initially depicted as a tempera painting as part of a series of Boston Harbor studies done in the spring of 1968. This is one of three reductions woodcuts actualized from the Boston Harbor studies. Also see "Steam Trawler, Thomas Whalen," and "The State Pier Revisited."
