Key West Street Scene Watercolor and Ink Print
This item is a large-format mixed-media print or original work featuring an architectural street scene of Key West, Florida. The composition highlights iconic locations including a portion of 'Sloppy Joe's' and 'Capt. Tony's Saloon'. The artwork utilizes a combination of fine black ink linework and loose, expressive watercolor washes. The color palette is dominated by light blues in the sky, sandy beiges, and muted greens, with pops of red and black in the signage and awnings. Notable features include detailed renderings of tropical vegetation like palm trees, a bicycle leaned against a porch, and a figure standing with a dog. The style is illustrative and whimsical, characteristic of late 20th-century coastal art. The piece is housed in a simple, thin silver-toned metal frame without a mat, which suggests a modern presentation style from the 1980s or 1990s. Physically, the paper appears slightly buckled or aged within the frame, which is typical for unmounted prints of this size. The linework is crisp, though there is potential light-fading in the watercolor pigments depending on UV exposure. No obvious artist signature is visible in the provided image, but it resembles the style of local regional artists who specialized in Key West architectural heritage.
