Victor Olson (1924-2007) American, Framed Watercolor of Winter Harbor Scene. Along with being a Saturday Evening Post, Norman Rockwell Peer, Photorealism specialist, and illustrator he was also an artist capturing the world around him. As a coastal Connecticut artist this artist appears to be local to the artists winter home and more likely than not to be a personal piece to the artist. There is a ghostly silhouette of a man carrying traps towards the docks with lobster traps fully there. It could be representative of the seasonal changes or a local fisherman who may not be able to do the tasks any longer. Signed lower left. 

Provenance: Directly from daughter of the artist.

Condition: Commensurate with age. Overall good condition.
