In First Mate, a lone black and white cat perches peacefully in a turquoise boat pulled up on land in Portofino, Italy. This whimsical yet serene photograph by John Scanlan captures the quiet charm of the Italian Riviera, blending everyday life with striking coastal beauty.
Printed as a limited edition on gallery-wrapped canvas, aluminum, or archival fine art paper, each piece is produced with exceptional attention to quality and detail—ideal for collectors of travel-inspired fine art.
Behind the image: Portofino, Italy. "On the Italian Riviera, it seems as if almost everyone owns or operates a boat - even a cat. While he may have just been looking for a sunny spot to perch himself, or for fish scraps left behind by his owner, the cat we found in an idle boat looked as if he could easily command it."

Testimonials
I purchased a couple pieces of landscape art from MK Envision and was impressed with the selection, the staff, and their customer service. Highly recommend.
They were so kind in helping us get our newly painted walls covered with amazing artwork! They are extremely professional, and always go above and beyond to do precision work. Our large windows posed a serious glare issue, but they handled it with style and grace and made our office one of the nicest places any of our vendors and clients had seen (the compliments are still rolling in)!
I had been searching for almost two years for wall art to hang above my sofa, and one day, I googled modern coastal wall art and a couple of clicks in, found MK Envision Galleries! I had been waiting to find the perfect piece, and I did. I saw "Shore Break At Sunrise" and it immediately spoke to me, so I knew almost instantly that I would be buying it. I was certain it would be as beautiful in person as it looked online (and it is) but had a couple of questions before committing to the purchase. Response time was quick, communication was informative, fun and professional...Start to finish, just an awesomely great experience!
