View from Hotel Boscobel
Acrylic and paste on paper
18" x 15"
1984
This painting is a blast from the past. It came to mind recently when I spoke with the current proprietor of the Central House, an establishment located on the street level of the former Hotel Boscobel. The proprietor is a descendant of a prior owner, perhaps the original builder of the hotel. While growing up in the town, I believe people still rented monthly rooms on the upper levels of the hotel. We stayed for the night in a room over the bar, so we could hear the juke box play into the night. On another occasion my dad played on a pinball machine in the bar.. The only time I ever saw him do that. Unortunately, sometime in the 1980's all the antique hotel furnishings were removed by the owners at the time.
