About the Painting:
After his move to New York City in 1986, Potthast became renowned for his optimistic, sun-drenched beach scenes in which he combined the vivid colors of Impressionism with the strong brushwork of the Munich School. Among his favorite sites were Coney Island and Rockaway Beach, both readily accessible from New York City. He also took frequent trips along the New England coast, stopping frequently at Ogunquit, Maine.
This painting could as well be in any of the aforementioned locations on the New York City Waterfront
