This piece was written to describe another painting by a favorite local artist of mine. His name is Paul McGehee. Google his work. The detail is amazing. Note the ship in the Potomac at the end of the street. If you look real close, to the left hand side there is a red brick shop that it lit up. That is Paul's Old Town Gallery. This is an acrostic...
On a river wide and deep,
Lined with galleries and specialty shops,
Donned with rich, nautical history,
Tobacco once it's dominant crop.
Originally part of Columbia,
Washington often spoke it's praise,
Northern port of Virginia,
Often guarded in volatile days.
Founded in colonial times,
Today a tourist's delight,
History shines in it's bustled daytime,
Elegance lines it's streets at night.
Potomac's imperial majesty,
Occupant of weathered shores,
Torpedo art and pageantry,
Ordained with restaurants and stores.
Mystically and hauntingly enchanted,
Alexandrian at it's core.
City admired for it's seafaring lore.
