Hi Mugs! I also have a going thing with fishing boats and art! So I down loaded some of your pics with special lights! I usualy redraw the boats and backgrounds with local traditional eastern atlantic designs! A deceased friend of mine supplied the special trawl winches of the "Excalibur" illustrated in one your albums! Keep sharing! Jean!

Hi Art. I really enjoyed viewing your photos. I found your link from Anne Oldenhave. I particularly like your boat scenes. I was wondering if you'd let me use some of your photos as references for my artwork. I am an artist, I mostly paint animals, but I am trying to get into painting landscapes and scenery as well. Please check some of my images at www.svetlananovikova.com Please let me know. Kindest wishes, Svetlana

Hi Art, Just got your note in my guestbook re Sunnydale Academy. I know we communicated some time in the past, I think because of your location in Portland OR which is near Scappoose where my youngest daughter lives. Small world, isn't it? Interestingly, one of the guys from my graduating class at BMA lives up there near Portland now, too... Hillsboro? or something like that? Our 40th reunion was LAST year about this time (Apr 2005)and we were fortunate enough to be able to order CD's of our long-ago graduation from him at cost for disk and postage. Well, I could go on about much that I'd rather not include here. Oh yes, the 'weeds' in the background of 'Evening Light' are a kind of reed that grows along the irrigation canals here. This pic was taken on Christmas Day last year. Charlotte in El Paso, TX chargerfree@mindspring.co m

Thanks, Art, for the nice comments in my guestbook. I look forward to more pictures from you. I love this album and especially the boats. Great job. Dianna

Hi Art, Like this album of the Northwest Pacific Coast, took a liking to your old houses in another album, barns too, and Newports fishing fleet is rather large-all the masts in one of your photos was a good shot, old Coast Guard boat was too. Saw your GB on another write-up, thought I'd say hello. Catch my homepage whenever you'd like. Greetings from the southern Oregon Coast. Ron

Hi Mugs: Thanks for stopping by and signing my Downeast Maine GB today! Glad you enjoyed the album. You have some wonderful albums as well. I enjoyed seeing all the fishing boats along the Pacific northwest. Didn't see many lobster boats though. I just have to ask this... Is that one boat REALLY named after your girlfriend... (smile) Is she still your girlfriend...??? Ken - Maryland

Hey Mugs, I still think this is one great shot (Sternwheeler while at Astoria)! Ever think of doing a gallery show and using your best shots? It's doable. Maybe you already have! D. Lindsay

Oh, the fog shots! Thanks for telling me! I love the ferry and the bridge. Been there and know the spots! Thank you, Mugs! Your Portland photo friend!

You have some great fishing vessels out there Art. Good character on those old boats and around the docks. One of my favorite compositions. Alan (Connecticut)
