History of a Painting, Horse Drawn Carriage,

Savannah, GA.

Acrylic Painting by Larry Johnston©

One of my favorite places to visit and exhibit was Savannah, with its History and nostalgia.  I was fascinated with the old historic carriages that roamed around the city chauffeuring tourists and guests around, showing them the places of interest, giving them a slice of Savannah's history.

As usual, I wanted to be able to sell prints of the places where I exhibited my artwork.  I painted two from Savannah.  "River Street" and the "Horse Carriage".  All the shows, were on River Street, with all the shops, cafes, which was along the water, where you could see all boat and ships come and go from the Port.

Pretty picture although as an animal lover I of course don't want to see the horse in it :-)

Larry I was in Savannah last year at this time, and your painting brings back some very pleasant memories of that trip.
