Fairfield Beach
1935

A vibrant watercolor painting depicting a lively beach scene with people sunbathing under colorful umbrellas, boats in the water, and a figure in white standing next to a canoe on the shore. In the background, there are quaint coastal buildings, a lighthouse on a pier, and an industrial structure with smokestacks under a dynamic, cloudy sky. The painting is signed and dated in the bottom left corner, with visible edges of the paper suggesting it's mounted on a larger sheet.
