About this artwork
The harbor in Newport, Oregon is one of my favorite destinations for reference photographs and for talking with captains and deckhands of small commercial fishing boats. Here workers are unloading a shipload of hagfish, also known as slime eels. They will be shipped to Korea where they have been overfished and are prized as a food delicacy. Their skins are also used for wallets and leather accessories.

« As an artist, maritime scenes grab me, inherently providing the elements necessary for a good painting. Water adds contrast in edges, shapes, and value. Reflections guarantee compositional continuity. »
Bill Hudson is a prize-winning American artist whose paintings have been exhibited in the United States. Every one of his nautical themed compositions brings back fond memories of working the water as a child, or owning his own crab boat in San Pedro as an adult. Hudson's realistic works are created using watercolors and casein, which uses milk curds as a binder rather than gum arabic associated with watercolor and gouache.
