Original Acrylic Painting Cypress Queen 1950s Greenfield Lake 20" X 16" Unframed

This is an original painting in acrylics on a 20" X 16" canvas. It is painted dark gray on the sides, top and bottom, making it suitable to hang as is. It can also be framed. It does not come with a frame. The frame in the photo is only for the purpose of displaying how it would look in a frame. The artwork is a depiction of a sightseeing boat, the "Cypress Queen", that gave pleasure rides to kids back in the late 1950's on Greenfield Lake in Wilmington North Carolina. It also showcases the cypress trees, flowering azaleas and white dogwood trees that the area is known for. Newcomers to the area may be surprised to know that there once was a miniature riverboat that gave pleasure rides on Greenfield Lake. The Star had a photograph of the new 28-foot boat taking its first cruise. The older boat, the Cypress Queen, was kept in service for busy days. Greenfield Lake was a busy place. Many older residents recall as a child visiting the small zoo at the park as well as the miniature train ride. The painting features greens, blues, grays, violet, pinks, red, black and white. It would make a dramatic strikingly colorful statement in any room. The artwork is titled "The Cypress Queen" by Ginger Ebert, painted in 2023. Signed by the original artist (me) in white ink on the front right hand corner. Please feel free to make an offer - I'm happy to accept reasonable offers! From a smoke free environment.
