This print is created with archival inks on hot pressed smooth art paper that is 100% cotton fibre, acid free and lignin free. This ensures an expected long life of over 100 years.
I have for many years wanted to render an accurate image of Pat O’Neal’s Boat Shop as it was on the canal in Coinjock, N.C.. I was unable however to find a quality reference photo and my memory of the shop was inadequate. Some years ago now, E.G. Swain gave me photos from a newspaper clipping showing the canal with ice in February of 1958. In the background was a blurry image of the shop. Later, my cousin, Yvonne Bateman, found the photo that was obviously used for the article and although still blurry, was not a course halftone image and gave me enough to better imagine the detail.
This is my representation of Pat’s Shop from 1958.
The painting is now on display at the Wildlife Education Center at the Historic Corolla Park along with Pat O’Neal’s tool box.
