My photograph of a boat taken from Goat Island in New Castle won Best in Show at the Seacoast Artist Association “Coastal” theme show this July 2026. It was subsequently purchased by the gentleman that owned the boat! I love it when my art captures a precious memory for a person.
A lobster boat is moored in the quiet waters of Portsmouth Harbor seen from Goat Island in New Castle, NH. There’s a kayak put-in on this small chunk of land that includes a couple of homes and the Kittery Point Yacht Club. The island provides footings for two bridges that connect Portsmouth with New Castle, a charming village of about one-thousand people. It is the only New Hampshire town situated entirely on an island. Several other islands can be seen in this section of the tidal Piscataqua River.
Part of my portfolio of photographs, this image uses an artistic software filter to impart a painterly appearance; prints are available from my Pixels shop.
