Afternoon Arrival, Gloucester

“I have always enjoyed painting the arrival and departure of vessels,” says artist Christopher Blossom.“ Regardless of the excitement or anticipation of the voyage to come, when setting out there is an underlying level of apprehension. The ocean can be unforgiving. With the satisfaction of a successfully completed trip, there is always a feeling of relief mixed with thoughts of homecoming.” The Greenwich Workshop is proud to celebrate Blossom’s homecoming, as he returns to his collectors with his first Fine Art Limited Edition Canvas, "Afternoon Arrival, Gloucester." The artist captures a moment in the early 20th century as the fishing schooner "Monitor" slides quietly into Gloucester, Massachusetts’ inner harbor in the late afternoon.
