Painting

One framed watercolor painting of the passenger steamship, SS NORMAC, of the Owen Sound Transportation Company. The painting shows a port side bow view of the ship which is moored at a dock in Manitowaning, Georgian Bay, Ontario. Trees and grass are visible along a shoreline in the foreground. A harbor and faint shoreline can be seen in the background. The artist has signed his name, "Paul C. LaMarre, '75," in the lower left corner. The print is mounted in a decorative walnut or cherry wood frame with a light blue matte border and protective glass. The wood frame has a multi-layered molding which has been stained dark brown and finished with clear semi-gloss lacquer or varnish. Handwritten blue ink text on the back of the frame matting reads "New picture of "Normac"; Painted in watercolor for me - a special price arranged by Bob Lee, Dossin Museum; Usually $100 - for me $40. Painted from slide (Normac trip); Lee's slide from my diary of trip - we were here briefly, Manitowaning, Ontario, Georgian Bay, Tuesday June 9, 1964."
