When in doubt, go bigger than you think. The art, including any frame, should fill about ⅔ 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
I photographed these lobster buoys hanging on a shed in Damariscotta, Maine, drawn to the visual density of color and pattern. Each buoy is hand-painted with a unique color combination that serves as a lobsterman's signature—their way of identifying which traps are theirs when they're hauling pots. The patterns aren't decorative; they're functional, though the accumulated effect is undeniably striking.
What you're seeing here is generations of maritime culture condensed into painted wood and foam. Some of these buoys show severe wear—sun-faded paint, chips and dings from repeated hauling, and water staining. They're working tools that have been retired and mounted as decoration, a common practice along the Maine coast, where lobstering isn't just an industry but a defining cultural identity.
I composed this to emphasize the variety within repetition—dozens of buoys, each one similar in form but distinct in its paint pattern. The weathered wood shed and the netting in the background reinforce the maritime context without competing with the main subject. The challenge was balancing exposure across all those different colors while maintaining detail in both the bright whites and darker blues.
It's a very Maine scene: practical objects elevated to folk art simply by being gathered together and displayed.
The dense pattern and varied colors create visual rhythm and coastal character.
