Paul Rickard: A Watercolorist's Perspective from the Other Side of the Tracks

From the artist:

"I want to record for posterity the decomposing creosote wood piers and rails that run along Humboldt Bay along with the residents who inhabit it. The life for the residents on the other side of the tracks unfolds daily as they wake and rouse to the challenge of the morning light. I paint the landscape and home of these residents with their permission, support, and friendship. My art will share the great beauty of the shores of Humboldt Bay are a significant and challenged population of people.”
