About the painting “Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-op”
In 1989, I traveled to Port Townsend to see some old friends with whom I had rebuilt boats. I also wanted to explore the possibility of relocating my small family and home to the Northwest.
I immediately developed an affinity for the harbor area and ventured forth with my painting gear.
Happening upon a nearly empty field near Haines Place, I came across an incredible composition at Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-op that drew me in. I felt compelled to render this scene.
About the co-op
Port Townsend Shipwrights Co-op had been formed only 8 years previous to my rendering. Servicing the Alaskan fishing fleet and wooden yachts of the Pacific Northwest, a group of like-minded craftsmen formed the Co-op. They shared a bond with their love for wooden boats.
This historic and nearly empty field depicted in 1989 near Haines Place is now a bustling hub of boat repair and harbor businesses.
The famous Western Flyer was currently under renovation at the Co-op years later. (Author John Steinbeck had put out to sea in this fishing vessel in a 1940 marine specimen-collecting expedition. The expedition became the basis of his 1951 non-fiction book, “The Log from the Sea of Cortez”. This was considered to be one of Steinbeck’s most important works.)
