Delta Queen Landing at Cincinnati
Oil on canvas, 40" x 30", June 11th,
1997, NFS, Comparable $10,000
Available in framed photo prints
This painting is the companion of Tom's earlier, same size work of South
Street Seaport. His sister and her husband commissioned the two of them
six years ago. Tom delivered the first painting in the Spring of 1992
and now is glad to deliver the second. It took so long because of the
massive detail in the work and the resolve not to deliver a inferior work.
It was Tom's intention to rival all other work in these two paintings.
The first work was of the restored seaport in New York City near Wall
Street. It had about thirty people on board the schooner "Pioneer"
and about the same number on the wharf. In this "Delta Queen"
painting there were substantially more people.
The paintings shows the steamboat Delta Queen just finished docking at
Cincinnati Landing. To the left of the Queen is the permanently moored
showboat Majestic. In the distance you can see the traditional river front
of Covington, Kentucky with its famous suspension bridge built by John
Robeling and finished in 1860. Just behind the bridge is the modern office
tower and contemporary Covington Landing.

From
the story of the painting:
Jesse Marsh grew up here. He is up in ages now and still has a very handsome
distinguished look about him, blond hair what is left not turn gray with
blue eyes. One of his eyes has a drip in it like an infection. His size
was huge bulk with soft large hands that turn in many directions. I met
him while I was painting a smoke house that was the only thing left from
a farmhouse that set near the road. "There's a well right there also
where the satellite dish is now, he said. The road used to turn
off and snake over to where the Sheraton is now. You can clearly see where
the road turned off. Right there was a number of barns and out buildings.
"All this land is good farm land. Jesse said.
Gentry Tobacco Warehouse, Lexington, Kentucky,

Oil on canvas,
July 5 1998,
$400
Painted over four years. Tom's wife spends a day every summer
in Lexington, Kentucky at a professional meeting and during that time,
Tom spent his time researching the tobacco auction business for a possible
painting. His patron had had in their family a large tobacco warehouse,
which they had sold. He wanted to at least have a painting of it.
Zero Main Street, Nantucket,
20" x 16",
Oil on canvas,
August 20 1987,
$500
One of two paintings Tom did
while on vacation in Nantucket. In the past he had painted this same scene
over and over again but he had sold all of them. This one he did for himself.
It is one of the four different views he painted of the famous fountain.
The view is of a large building that used to be a counting house for the
ships that came into port but today houses shops below and offices above.
During the summer, they hang a large model of a whaling ship above the
door.
