In this artist statement, I explain how my love for waterways started back when I was a boy, and my father would take me with him to the Pittsburgh wharves during his truck deliveries. I came across some old photos depicting that period in time. In this first photo, if you look closely, you’ll see the river and some working boats in the back. I also find the old trucks pretty interesting.
Watching the sailboat races on Deep Creek Lake, you’re going to see the fleet bunched up at the mark. Bunched Up is a piece from last summer’s sailing series.
Bunched Up
Original Watercolor on Canvas
SOLD
I worked on another series of sailboat paintings this summer, based on the scenes around Deep Creek Lake’s thriving Flying Scot community. Cutting Edge is one of the pieces in the series. A few of them sold before the paint dried, but this is still available for purchase at the Garrett County Arts Council’s Gallery Shop.
