About this artwork
Katama Bay is a signed original oil painting by me, Mark Laurence LaRiviere, hand-painted on canvas over wooden stretchers. For this companion painting to the "Pocha Pond" painting, I began with a pencil sketch made on location that I continued to work on back at our rental house.
First, I coated the 10 X 30 inch canvas with three layers of Gesso and sanded it to a smooth surface. Working rapidly, I sketched in the layout using a thin oil wash.… About a month later, I completed the painting in my Port Chester studio using the Geneva Paints limited palette, working from the sketch and reference photos.
This work is currently framed—a dark, solid hardwood frame with a mahogany stain—and ready to hang right out of the box.
With its 1½” rabbet and 1.5 inch height from the wall, the narrow face of these 1/4 inch wide frames sets off the work handsomely. I leave a 3/4 inch gap between the work and frame so the artwork will appear to float within the frame.

My artistic practice is the result of a lifelong dialogue with visual structure. After graduating from RISD and spending over three decades as a Design Director for institutions like Harry N. Abrams, Oxford University Press, and Random House, I understand the mechanics of any image—composition, balance, and the hierarchy of visual information.
For my digital print-on-demand works, I maintain a strict 'Studio Stopover' protocol to ensure museum-grade quality. Unlike standard print-on-demand services, these pieces are first shipped to my Connecticut studio for personal inspection.
Each work is examined for color fidelity, hand-signed, and numbered by me personally. I then assemble a custom 'Care Kit' for the collector, including a detailed explanation of the work and a Certificate of Authenticity.
This meticulous process adds approximately 7–10 days to the delivery timeline, but it ensures that the work you receive meets the highest professional standards of the fine art market.
