“Gregory Dunham traces his passion for the working waterfront to the 1950’s when as a child his family drove through the back streets of Gloucester on the way to a vacation cottage at Long Beach. The colors, smells and sounds of the bustling harbor captivated him and set him on a course toward shoreline painting. A friend and mentor, master printmaker Stow Wengenroth, encouraged Dunham to explore the coast of Maine. After extended expeditions that included visits to Eastport, Lubec and Corea, he and his wife settled in Castine in 1987. Since then the painter has trained his eye primarily on waterfront subjects. In meticulous, light-filled watercolors, he renders the details of this world, be it propellor perched on sawhorses or skiffs pulled up on the beach at Monhegan.” Carl Little - from an article for Maine Boats Homes & Harbors
