What a great surprise and honor!!  The "Maritime Workshop" was selected as the poster / postcard / publicity image for the 2013 Arts are Elementary 10 by 10 benefit show.  The show and sale is Friday, September 27th, 5 to 8pm.  It's always a fun time with great eats.  The on-line preview is set to kick off September 4th.  
About "Maritime Workshop," at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, I came across the boat workshop with its windows open.  For me, workshops in use have an appealing mix of order and disorder.  In the maritime workshop, the array of boats, objects and surfaces coupled with the light streaming in form an as-found Midcoast narrative.  So, I took a quick picture and then painted it.  A friend of mine later told me that her husband apprenticed in that workshop - pretty cool, aye.
