Here are a few words about this beautiful art:

"Here the stunning Barquentine 'Violet' is seen passing The Brooklyn Bridge, New York.

The Brooklyn Bridge was designed by John A. Roebling. Construction began in 1869 and was completed in 1883. At the time, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. 

'Violet' was a 'Barkentine' or 'Schooner Bark'.  A 'full-rigged ship' is square-rigged on all three masts, and a 'Barque' is square-rigged except for the mizzen-mast.  A 'barquentine' extends the principle by making only the foremast square-rigged. 

The advantages of a smaller crew, good performance before the wind and the ability to sail relatively close to the wind while carrying plenty of cargo made it a popular rig at the end of the nineteenth century."

Today, 'barquentines' are popular with modern tall ship and sail training operators as their suite of mainly fore-and-aft sails improve non-downwind performance, while their foremast of square sails offers long distance downwind speed and dramatic appearance in port.

Don Demer's maritime experience came about as a crew member aboard many traditional sailing vessels including schooners and square-riggers. He continues to be an avid sailor.

Donald Demers was born in 1956 in the small rural community of Lunenburg, Massachusetts. His interest in painting maritime subjects began while spending his summers on the coast of Maine near Boothbay Harbor. Crewing aboard schooners, square-riggers and other traditional craft have provided both the foundation for his technical expertise and the vision to transfer his first- hand experience to the canvas. His love of sailing has not diminished over the years. 

A move to Maine in 1984 marked a shift in his career in which illustration yielded to marine and landscape painting. Illustration serves as a diversion from the demands of fine art and over the years, Reader’s Digest, Sail Magazine, Field & Stream, Sports Afield, Yankee, Downeast and most recently, the prestigious National Geographic magazines, in addition to several book publishers, have called on Don to create visual illumination for the written word. 

He is a Fellow of the American Society of Marine Artists, won a record number 17 awards at the Mystic International Marine Exhibition, Mystic, CT and at the Laguna Plein Air Invitational, Don has won two awards. 

His illustrations have been recognized four times by the Museum of American Illustration in their national competition as representing the finest examples of work in the field.
