#2279 "Water Side Boathouse"

This was Day One of the IPAP Paint the Town event affiliated with the Kingston School of Art 2019.
The sun was getting very oppressive so I decided to paint in the shade of a very large waterfront willow. This is the other side of the battered Barriefield Boathouse. I had painted this particular view as well in 1915 as

#1459 "B and B Flip Side". It had fallen into even greater disrepair in the past four years. The sad boathouse was not helped at all by the flooding and the higher water levels of the Great Lakes and the St Lawrence River. The story of the changing water levels were etched on the walls of the boathouse.

The other paintings about this particular boathouse include #1458 "B and B - Barriefield Boathouse", #1459 "B and B Flip Side", #2278 "Barriefield Boathouse Door", and #2279 "Water Side Boathouse".
