The Chatham Whales & Sharks have been installed, and will be on display in downtown Chatham through mid-August. Around 70 Chatham businesses sponsor an artist, who is given a 5' wooden whale to transform into a one-of-a-kind work of art. They are up for auction on Bidding for Good, where 50% of the proceeds goes toward various charitable causes within the town, and the other 50% to the artist for their work. 

I chose this print, titled “Winter's Blessing” because of its dramatic and moody tones. It was a cold winter evening, and I had the entire beach to myself - just me, my camera and the waves. It's very different from the typical nautical, light-colored Cape Cod decor you will find in every beach home. The print is dye-sublimated onto aluminum and has a glossy finish; it is meant to stand up to the elements and its color and shine will last for years and years to come. The back is painted and sealed in black, complete with a title and signature plate.
