Sailing Yachts -The Beauty of Wind, Sail and Sea

Martha Stewart Skylands HomeAn 1880s vintage sailing yacht print that hangs in one of the upstairs rooms at Skylands, Martha Stewart's home on Mount Desert Island in Maine, of which she said, "it's my ideal kind of house - spacious and quiet." And the art couldn't be more perfect for this space and the rugged location.

Resolute Rosenfeld CollectionThis poster from art.com (as always please click on images for more information and/or purchase) shows Resolute a very similar ship from the Rosenfeld Collection at the Mystic Seaport Museum in Connecticut, where you can buy reproduction prints from a vast collection of ships from 1881-1992.

Maya, these are beautiful, I love the one printed on sepia. I stopped by LeBlanc's blog to see more of his spectacular work and was not disappointed.

I also read your post on decorating with oars, I have an old one in my garage that belonged to my father and you have given me some great ideas on what to do with it. Thanks!

Maya, it's funny... what I know about boats could fit in a thimble, but I sure love looking at them.
