ABOUT In early 1912, a group of Motor Boat owners members of the Boston Yacht Club whose members were predominantly sail boat skippers) realized the pressing need for some sort of education for pleasure boat owners. They formed a group which became known as the Power Squadron of the Boston yacht Club. The object was to hold a series of classes at which each member would make a presentation on the essentials of navigation, as applied to small craft owners. Word of this group spread to other Eastern ports and more boat and yacht clubs adopted the idea. finally, in 1914, at a meeting held at the New York Yacht club, the nationwide organization now known as the United States Power Squadron was founded. This study was painted for a commissioned painting by Don Demers in celebration of the 90th Anniversary of the U.S. Power Squadron in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Over the last 30 years, a whole new breed of marine artists has entered the field with a roar. Energetic and incredibly talented, these artists are dedicated to continuing and expanding the great traditions of this time-honored art form. Among this group only a few rises up as leaders of this new generation. Versatile artist Don Demers is by everyone's measure one of these. Donald Demers is considered to be one of the finest marine and landscape painters in America.

Don Demers is a highly sought after instructor and his teaching has taken him around the United States and Europe. His work as an illustrator has been honored four times in the annual exhibition of the Society of Illustrators. Don’s marine paintings have garnered him a record 21 awards at the Mystic International Marine Exhibition including the prestigious Rudolph J. Schaefer Award.
