Brechin Morgan has exhibition space at Mystic Seaport for the month of July to display his maritime paintings. He is a fascinating guy. As a youth, Brechin hitch-hiked around the southwestern USA in railroad boxcars. He eventually went to art school. To support his family, Brechin opened a company that painted billboards as well as large outdoor and smaller indoor murals in South Norwalk, Connecticut.
In 1998 Brechin spent four and a half years on his 27 foot cutter "Otter," sailing alone 32,000 miles and visiting 32 countries around the world. After returning, he opened an art studio in Bridgeport. I could have spent all afternoon talking with him.

Jack, you have shot another great portrait. Brechin has lived an interesting life. Sailing alone takes a special dedication.
