The Point (Pittsburgh)

September 27, 2024

A black and white whimsical ink illustration of Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers shows  the confluence of the Allegheny and the Monongahela Rivers, to form the Head of the Ohio River at The Point. My drawing emphasizes the Acrisure Stadium formerly named Heinz Field,  and The Point. Activities in the drawing are tailgating, roller blading, fishing and boating. One figure is kayaking and a Ducky boat is shown, while in the foreground crew boating is depicted by two figures sculling. A helicopter s overhead. The stadium is the home of the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Pitt Panthers, the University of Pittsburgh Football team. Nearby is the Carnegie Science Center.  Lewis & Clark began their westward voyage here near the point on August 31, 1803. It is one of a series of 5 ink drawings I call Silly Ink Drawings. 
Silly Ink Prints are available in 3 sizes.
Large  $100   +- Paper dimension  27” wide x 20” high
Medium    $55       +- Paper dimension  15 1/8” wide x 11” high

Rustbelt Kayaking!

June 19, 2017

Kayaking Near Brilliant Railroad Bridge, watercolor and gouache by Carol Skinger

My watercolor & gouache painting titled Rustbelt Kayaking is part of my solo show of 40 works at Cooper Siegel Community Library 403 Fox Chapel Road in Pittsburgh (Fox Chapel) 15238. On the walls from May 14, 2017- March 15, 2018 , a public reception was held  Saturday June 24, 2017.   Each purchase benefited the library 25%.

This original painting SOLD  in mid summer but I have high quality prints of it still for sale, which can be purchased from me or through the library. Check Dovecote in Aspinwall for a framed print.  Contact me directly for framed or unframed prints.

Venture Outdoors and Kayak Pittsburgh rent kayaks at Aspinwall Riverfront Park in summer.
