Grand Image provided artwork for the brand new Westport 164? Boardwark, a custom designed Yacht tailored perfectly to the client's modern taste. Artists featured on this project include art by Gregory Garrett, Malcom Hill, Mary Farmer, and Patrick Atkinson. The Westport 164 was featured in the Spring 2011 edition of Yachts International Magazine and with a nine-page spread featuring all the luxious bells & whistles incorporated into the interior and on deck design by Westport Shipyards.

Here are my tips for specifying artwork for yachts and other boat projects:

• In general, marine vessels have very small wall spaces which are often curved. Smaller pieces under 30 x 30 (framed) are usually best. Small series can be placed above a headboard or down a corridor for greater impact.

• Appropriate styles of artwork can vary from very traditional seascape scenes to ultra-contemporary abstract pieces. It all depends on the taste of the client!

• Grand Image artists have painted many small series of original works that can be perfect for the limited space available on yachts.

• POD is also a fantastic option as any of these images can be printed at custom sizes to accommodate any need.
