Description : | Painting of an ocean scene. The painting depicts a big wave, two people in a rowboat, land in the distance, and darker clouds in the sky. The picture was painted on thin board-like canvas with a green taped "frame" around the edges. The back of the canvas is black paper with mahogany coloured spots on it. |
Commentaires : | This painting was created by a traveling artist who had stayed at Fredericton Junction's Canadian Hotel. The artist had no money to pay for his stay or meals so he would paint miniature pictures in exchange for meals and large paintings on the walls for each days stay. The Canadian Hotel was taken down five years after being built and everything was auctioned off, including hte artist's meal tickes and large wall paintings which were cut of the walls and framed. |
