"The Viewer and the View" Limited Edition Fine Art Print

"This scene is from a real-life place that evokes great emotion. Long before I knew the story of this special location, I knew it felt different than any place I'd been before.

Then I learned what happened there many years ago...

Nestled along Highway 17 between Beaufort and Charleston, this is the place where Harriet Tubman led over 700 enslaved people to freedom during the largest raid to take place in the Civil War. She orchestrated an extremely complicated and heroic effort to bring men, women and children of the surrounding plantations to their new lives as freed individuals.

Harriet Tubman is best known for the Underground Railroad, but in my opinion, the Combahee River Raid of 1863 rivals that accomplishment. Harriet Tubman was prominent in Beaufort, and you can truly feel the spirit and energy in this humbling place.

When driving through, the marsh stretches out in front of you, unhindered and seemingly endless. The paths along the marsh are perfectly perpendicular, signifying the long-gone rice fields that former enslaved people dug. During the spring and summer, alligators dot the waters and drivers beware of them crossing the road. If you happen to have the great opportunity of seeing this place in person, make sure to pull over the boat landing to take it all in. If you don't have time to stop, roll down your windows as you pass through. Let the smell, history and perseverant spirit of this place whisk you to another time.

THIS place is one of my very favorites on this planet. If you're ever lucky enough to visit, I'll personally point you in the direction. It's a place that everyone should know about...

So of course I had to paint it."

-Colors and exposure may vary from monitor to monitor. These prints have been tested and edited and reprinted numerous times each to get the exact coloring, from screen to physical item.

OPTIONAL MATTING

To save time (and money), you can choose to have your print matted before delivery. Our mat windows are completely custom-sized for each print, and the outer frame dimensions are cut for a standard frame size. This means that you will not need to have your print professionally framed if you don't want to! You can absolutely do it yourself by purchasing any standard sized frame with the dimensions given. These frames are commercially available at most home goods stores, pre-made at frame shops and found readily available in numerous online shops.

We have chosen the matting color(s) that best compliment each print. Please see photos on this listing for your choice.

Mat Color Options:

•Off White

•Raven
