"This Used To Be A Marina..."

I was out looking for a specific painting site I had discovered in the winter, but in the process, I found this spot at Black Creek at the intersection of Ballantyne Road and Scottsville Road instead. A woman who stopped to see what I was up to gave me a bit of information on what had been there before - a marina. Something about this little, salmon pink shack really intrigued me. I think it's the first time I've used some of the hot pink pastels I carry with me. Sadly, I was informed by a friend that the little shack burned down a year or so after I painted this.

Forgotten Tugboat - The Seneca Maid in Drydock

I'd been to this marina on the Genesee earlier in the summer and immediately spotted this incredible old tugboat sitting up on jacks. It was extremely hot that day though, and since I knew I'd have to be standing in full sun to really capture it, decided to try it another time. Thankfully, we came back to this spot again yesterday and I was able to paint the scene just the way I'd envisioned it.

Tug Boat "C. L. Churchill"

I found this great tug boat moored on the Genesee River at Cornhill Landing and had to paint it. The colors in the shadow side of the boat were full of subtle colors.

Green Shed

Done from the marina at the end of Petten St. in Charlotte. I noticed this little lime green shed flanked by boats on the east side of the Genesee River. It made for a perfect composition.

Genesee Valley Park Bridge

The colors were spectacular and the water was perfectly calm. The bridges in the park are a terrific subject. SOLD
