Wharf Bumpers Artwork Keramisch Ornament

This painting of Boat Bumpers by Manie artist Dominic White provides an everyday image of Portland, Maine’s working waterfront. Hanging from faded white, orange, and blue ropes on a weathered sun-bleached pylon, the bumpers reflect the watery sunlight shining through misty clouds. Long use has chipped vivid orange and green paint from the bumpers to reveal the black foam underneath. Behind them, a red and white lobster boat is moored on the same dock, fully loaded with lobster traps ready to be redeployed.
