Architecture, impression, waterfront, Maritime
Some of the old timers I admire painted coastal towns with glee and abandon. I have never been able to get too far from a great expanse of water. My coasts have been on the inland lakes and Great Lakes of the Midwest but I feel an affinity to harbors and dockside environments wherever we travel.
The shapes and colors and the “feel” of old buildings on the water is a subject made for artists who have a need to find originality and grit in the places that inspire them. Over the years authentic waterfronts have been replaced with gentrified shores. One old timer lamented ( in the 1940s ) that if they keep cleaning things up they’ll be nothing for artists to paint! Obviously, that lament is untrue because nature will always provide. It is man’s need to modernize, build up and tear down that we have to keep a watch for. In many ways artists are historians, for what’s here today is often gone tomorrow.
