the story | The scene is the Kalamazoo Riverfront from North Water Street. The classical urn and plinth are identical to those used at the entrance of the Fruit Exchange on Culver Street in Saugatuck, believed to have been designed by Carl Hoerman.
the art | The painting was done plein air, i.e., outdoors on location rather than in a studio, during a day-long painting event organized by Water Street Gallery.
the artist | Holly Leo lives in Saugatuck. In addition to being an artist, she works as an art director and photo stylist. She comments: “In my art, I am trying to balance the vibrancy and inundation of modern life with the simplicity and design of another era.”
SDHC Collection, gift of Kenneth R. Carls and James A. Schmiechen
