Houseboat with Green Trim at Johnsons

14" x 18". Unsigned on front. On the back Mildred S. Wiss. Before 1960.

Description by J.K. Flynn: The main focus of the imagery depicted in this painting is a very colorful and captivating house-boat docked near the edge of a sandy beach. White with deep green trim and detail, the house-boat faces into the beach area displays two small planters with colorful flowers and plantings atop the roof. Another colorful detail includes the suspended cloths-line stretching across the rooftop with reds, blues, pinks, purples, and greens of clothing, beachwear, and towels. Directly behind, and alongside are two row-boats of pale grey, blue-green and accented with red colorations. A group of three grey and black ducks are composed in the lower portion of the design, paddling along watery reflections of the scene.
