Every year the remaining Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks have a race on the Choptank River near Cambridge. Here they are jockeying for position before the start, but I was drawn to the juxtaposition of the historic ships and the suggestion of the trucks crossing the modern day bridge spanning the Choptank River. This painting will be in the 2026  Waterfowl Festival next week Nov. 12 - 15 in Easton, Maryland.
