'Dusk Along the Saugatuck River'

Original Oil on Canvas | 24 x 30 wide

As the day draws to a close, the Saugatuck River takes on a quieter character. Dusk Along the Saugatuck River is an original oil painting of the Saugatuck River Bridge in Westport, Connecticut, inspired by the low tide conditions of this tidal river and the changing light along this familiar stretch of the waterfront.

The river has long been central to the character of Westport. Its waters provided an important route for early trade and commerce, helping the town develop as a coastal community. Today, the Saugatuck remains an integral part of local life, with its bridges, waterfront buildings and surrounding landscape giving the area a distinctive sense of place.
