Lakers at Tie-Up by Mary Prittie

Mary Prittie often drew inspiration from the working maritime life of Port Colborne and the Welland Canal. This original watercolour on paper shows Great Lakes lakers at tie-up in her hometown, with a yellow-orange sky set against the darker tones of the ships. The work reflects Prittie’s interest in industrial waterfront scenes, Lake Erie shipping, and the visual character of Southern Ontario’s canal communities.

The yellow / orange sky contrasts perfectly with the dark tones of the ships.
