History of a Painting - River Street, Savannah, GA.
Acrylic Painting by Larry Johnston©
While living in north Georgia in the 1980's, one of my favorite Art shows that I attended, was in south Georgia on River Street in Savannah. The show was along the edge of the River, opposite all the shops and restaurants. The street was still cobblestone as it was decades ago. The buildings used to be warehouses, convenient for the shipping trade.
The painting is of one of the typical buildings made from stone and rock, at the north end of the street. The wrought iron stairs added to the historic ambiance. The rail tracks still run along the middle of the street, giving the area a nostalgic look of the early trade and transportation in Savannah. It was one of several paintings that represented my experiences in Savannah, GA.
We saw many boats and ships that docked next to us during the years we attended. One year, a Navy destroyer stopped for the weekend. Another was a tall ship, that looked like it was a pirate ship of the past.
