Joseph Neary's powerful paintings reflect his experience as a competitive sailor, and his keen eye for the windswept restlessness of the ocean and shorelines of New England and Northern California. Neary's paintings bring to life  the ever-changing environment of surf and sky, of rail-down sailing ships fighting wind and current, steadfast lighthouses and peaceful harbors.

   In 1979 Joseph Neary captured the hearts of wine lovers and critics alike with his painting of "Sea-Wolf at the Lighthouse" for Kenwood Vineyards Artist Series. The Chicago Tribune wrote, "There was a time when the contents of a wine bottle was what sold it.  Now what's on the bottle is turning heads." USA Today wrote, "The next time you buy a bottle of wine, you may be tempted to frame it before it ever reaches your cellar."

   Today, Joseph Neary's paintings continue to captivate collectors of fine art, adorning the walls of private and corporate collections in America, Canada, and Europe.  From these highly coveted paintings, limited color reproductions are now available for international distribution.
