David Hamburg (1927 - 2006) Retrospective Marine, Limited Edition Art Prints - David Hamburg's retrospective marine art captures the images of lighthouses and ships of the past, in highly detailed, historically accurate limited edition prints. The original paintings were done in acrylic paint on Masonite panels. The Masonite panels were sealed with epoxy, sanded, and given eight (8) coats of acrylic gesso. After drying, the surface was then water-sanded to a final 400-grit finish. The smooth resultant finish allowed for the fine lines and details captured in the paintings. Get out your magnifying glass to inspect the rigging of the ships, the stars on the flags, to see the gulls on the rocks in the distance, or to look through the windows of the lighthouse at the Fresnel lens. Stand back and glimpse into the past at the ships and lighthouses of days gone by.
David Hamburg, father of five, home designer, builder, entrepreneur, and artist; loved fishing the rivers and lakes of Michigan. "The time a man spends fishing is not subtracted from his time on earth," was a favorite expression. Family camping trips to Higgins Lake, Burt Lake, Mackinaw City, Muskellunge Lake, Manistee, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Porcupine Mountains.... always ended with a stop in Frankenmuth for dinner on the way home. In retirement, David Hamburg took up fine art painting about the same time he finished custom building The Handmaiden I, a 26', double-ender fishing boat that won awards for craftsmanship, and is the namesake for the ship depicted in The Whaling Barque.
David Hamburg Limited Edition Prints: The Edmund Fitzgerald, Spectacle Reef & Lighthouse Tender Aspen, Split Rock Lighthouse, and The Whaling Barque Handmaiden II.
