Saint-Malo
watercolour
8.7" x 11.3" (22.2 x 28.6 cm)

1890
James Wilson Morrice (1865-1924)
Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal

I wanted to get this watercolour posted before the end of summer.

There is an immediacy to this painting that I really like. You have that feeling of being with Morrice in Saint-Malo on a summer day in 1890.


(At the end of the nineteeth century Saint-Malo was apparently one of the most frequented French resorts.)
