| Sunday at Johnson Cove I painted this peaceful scene on a Sunday afternoon while sitting on a dock along Johnson Cove. The water and sky were painted wet-on-wet watercolor with large brushes. The rest of the scene was painted dry brush after the paper dried with fine brushes. For many US rural community residents, including these hard-working fishermen at Johnson Cove, Sunday is a day of well-deserved rest. US Highway 13 crosses the 17-mile long Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel that connects the South Hampton Roads area and the cities of Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Chesapeake with Virginia's Eastern Shore, the southernmost portion of the Delmarva Peninsula. The region is mostly farmland interspersed with small fishing communities and scenic waterways like the one depicted in this watercolor. Located to the west of Route 13, Johnson Cove and nearby Johnsontown are unincorporated communities in Northampton County, VA. The original watercolor is in a private collection but limited edition prints and note cards are available. |
