This is an original serigraph, "The Offshore Wind," by renowned Pacific Northwest artist Elton Bennett. The serigraph shows a fishing boat set against a mountainous Pacific Northwest shoreline with a large sailing ship in the background. Although Bennett's signature does not show well in the photographs, the serigraph is hand signed both in the lower left hand portion of the picture and the lower left hand margin of the serigraph (see picture 2). The renowned silkscreen artist Elton Bennett depicted the working environment of the Pacific Northwest. His subjects include fishing trollers, and tall ships and buoys. Bennett was originally from Hoquiam, Washington where he worked in the lumber mills and on the dredge. He was introduced to the silkscreen process at the Museum Art School in Portland, Oregon, which he attended n the 1950's. His serigraphs, including this one, provide a glimpse of the past through the hands of this masterful artist combined with his love of the Pacific Northwest and will leave you feeling touched deeply within your soul. The artist chose silkscreen printing for his medium because it allowed many possibilities for manipulating compositions. He would always use a great number of screens and colors in infinite combinations so that each finished serigraph was a unique work of art. Elton Bennett serigraphs
