Boat Prints

This collection of boat prints features a selection of boat art both from places I’ve traveled  near and far as well as boats that are entirely a creation of my imagination. There’s something about boat art that I think speaks to many of us – both those who own boats as well as those of us who are simply fond of the subject. I think some of the collective love for boat prints is connected to our long history with boats. Before we had roads, the rivers and seas were the highways of our world. In older cities the world over, you’ll find many of the grand old buildings face the rivers, seas, and ports rather than the adjacent streets. That’s quite simply because people arrived and departed on the water.

Anyway, I will stop waxing poetic about the history of boats and leave you to enjoy my ever-growing collection of boat art. You can get your boat prints framed, on canvas, ready for framing, and in a variety of sizes from small prints that are great for gifts or large pieces of statement art for your home or office. If you have any questions about ordering your prints, comments or queries about individual prints, please send me a message and I’ll be happy to help. I’m also open to suggestions for specific subjects. So if you don’t see a the boat print you’re searching for but enjoy the style of my work, please feel free to make your suggestion.

    Before my my visit to historic Salem, Massachusetts, I had no idea they had a beautiful tall ship moored at Derby Wharf in the heart of the old town. I had never heard of the Friendship of Salem at all, but that beautiful boat was practically worth the visit to Salem alone. It turns out…

    My time in Monterey, California, the scene of this foggy morning artwork, was brief. But it’s one of those special places you encounter that you often think of years after the fact.

    During my short week long stay in Mérida, Mexico, I knew I had to have a little bit of tropical beach time. When I started looking into a day spent with my feet firmly planted in wet beach sand, I read about Celestún. While there is a beach much closer, Celestún sounded like exactly the…

    During my week in Playa del Carmen, it wasn’t just the incredible vistas of the Caribbean sea that attracted my attention. This beached red boat and its brethren were nearly an obsession!

  • Fishing Boat Art - Gold and Blue Sunrise Print by Mark Tisdale

    Fishing Boat Art – Dawn On The Water

    $24.00

    There’s something about the solitude of dawn in this fishing boat art that speaks to me.

That wasn’t the case before I became interested in art and specifically photography. And I quickly noticed…

    Early on the last morning that we were camped on the banks of the ancient river Nile, I did my best to creep quietly off the boat just before the sun rose. I had high hopes for a pretty dawn on the nile, and as this print shows, those hopes were met. I still remember…

  • Boston Seaside As the sun sets - Print by Mark Tisdale

    Boston Seaside At Sunset – Waterfront Art Print

    $24.00

    I wandered the Boston seaside for hours on my last day there. I loved the waterfront in late summer.

    This artwork of snow falling on Claddagh Quay was inspired by my first visit to Galway. We arrived in the city after dark on a winter evening. Shortly after getting settled in, we headed out for dinner and as soon as we hit the streets, dust swirled through the night sky. I’ve read that snow…

    $23.00

    On my first day in Boston several years ago, there was no question that I was going to go stand in line for the chance to see Old Ironsides. Visiting the USS Constitution is as close to a trip to the past as you often get. Stepping foot on the decks of an actual 18th…

  • Sailboat on Monterey Bay - California Coast Print by Mark Tisdale

    California Sailboat Dreams – Monterey Bay Art Print

    $24.00

    There’s just something innately romantic about sailboats. I know we tend to look at the past in rose-colored glasses, but sailing as a mode of transport just seems like such an intrinsically nicer way to get from point A to point B, don’t you think? Look at those full sails on the sailboat in this…

    I feel like this Chattahoochee River print is an excellent reminder that enjoying the great outdoors don’t always mean getting in a car and driving into the country (although it’s an acceptable excuse).

    While this fishing boat print may look like some far away rural location, this is actually the Chattahoochee River in the midst of Atlanta’s metro area. The suburb of Roswell, Georgia, was one of my favorite haunts when I lived in the area. It had a beautiful mix of nature and community. It felt as…

    A near constant feature of my Mexican beach art is, you guessed it, colorful boats. There’s just something about those little boats that captured my attention.
