Waterfront 2



Waterfront 2
The second in a couple of doodles I did the other morning while waiting for a setting to be arranged, and a model to show up, and for her to find a comfortable pose, for the rest of the day.
The first doodle was included in a previous post as “Waterfront 1”. 
I was thinking of old waterfront villages that started with the lumber trade, then fishing, and then attempted to survive catering to cottagers and tourists. I remember the old warehouses and dilapidated docks where outboard motorboats once tied. It’s what I remember as a kid when kids were free to explore. Of course these places have changed since then, those that have survived. The docks now hold large mobile floating homes pretending to be seafaring yachts. They rarely go anywhere.

  4. Arti: It would be nice to be near water and see a boat or two. Unfortunately the water around here has turned to ice, and the boats have been pulled out of the lakes until spring.

    Lorraine: Your comment here is all I have received. I assume you said something nice.. Thank you

    Wine and Words, Annie: It feels good to know there is a shared vision here. There are so many small waterfront places like this along the Great Lakes. I can imagine it is similar along your coast.
    Thank you
