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.
