Which size is right for your space?
When in doubt, go bigger than you think. The art, including any frame, should fill about â…” the width of the furniture beneath it. Sizes listed are the photograph itself; framed paper prints, with a 2" mat and frame, are about 3–5" larger in each direction.

Framed prints arrive ready to hang
Framed paper prints are matted with a 2" white mat and protected by non-glare acrylic, so the image stays clear without reflections from windows or lights. Acrylic is lighter and safer to ship than glass, and every framed print arrives with hanging hardware already attached.
MetalPrints with a float mount or frame also arrive ready to hang.

About this photograph
Damariscotta's waterfront displays these lobster buoys—each one hand-painted with a unique color combination that serves as a lobsterman's registered trademark for identifying traps. The patterns aren't decorative choices but functional identification: solid colors, stripes, bands, each scheme registered with the state so fishermen can recognize their gear when hauling pots.
The collection shows the variety of these working markers—blues, greens, reds, whites in different configurations—creating an unintentional folk art display. The weathering visible on many buoys indicates actual use: sun-faded paint, saltwater staining, impact marks from being hauled repeatedly against boat gunwales.
Mounted against what appears to be netting or a similar nautical backdrop, these buoys have been retired from active duty and repurposed as decoration, celebrating the region's lobstering heritage. The dense arrangement emphasizes both individual character (each buoy's unique pattern) and collective impact (the accumulated visual rhythm of color and form).
Colorful lobster buoys display Maine's working waterfront heritage through functional identification patterns turned folk art.

About Dave
I create landscape photography for contemporary interiors where visual quality matters. My focus is dramatic environments—deserts, coastlines, forests, ancient architecture, night skies—photographed with deliberate composition and attention to craft. I'm selective about what I show. This collection represents a small percentage of what I shoot—work chosen for compositional strength and the ability to reward sustained viewing. These are images designed to live on your walls for years, not months.
