Description: For sale is a wonderful Richard Sigafoos (1908-1985) Impressionist oil painting featuring Stonington Harbor Maine. Stonington is a town in Hancock County, Maine, United States, located on the southern portion of Deer Isle. It includes the villages of Oceanville and West Stonington. Stonington is the nation’s lobster capital, landing more pounds than any other port in Maine and employing more lobstermen, too. Other towns may have more licensed lobster boat captains, but Stonington’s 181-boat fleet is filled with highliners – vessels that employ two sternmen, land more lobsters than most and often haul year-round in deeper offshore waters. This painting features a view of the lobster houses along the Harbor. Rendered in a gorgeous Impressionist brushstroke with beautiful coloration.
