#2281 "Barriefield Sunken Boat House"

This was Day One of the Paint the Town Kingston event of the Annual International Plein Air Painters (IPAP) Paint Out affiliated with the Kingston School of Art 2019. The day was getting late. There was no time to relocate to a better location plus I think this was the best spot anyway. Only a few artists remained.

I decided to have another go at the B and B - Barriefield Boathouse but this time only focus on the boat door. There was still some paint clinging to the weather boards. The record of the changing water levels was etched into those boards and the faded paint.

A beam was jammed into the opening to stop the wall from caving in. I think that the interior of the boat house was even in rougher shape and the occasional home of the mink, muskrat and the raccoons that I saw.

I was all by myself to finish this painting. It had been a busy day. Plein air is always fun.

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