Ladies on the Steamboat Painting

Ladies on the Steamboat is part of Paula McHugh’s series of paintings inspired by the titles of American and Celtic fiddle tunes and folk songs. This painting depicts three women with hats and parasols on the lake in a wooden steamboat. Inspired by the title of a traditional dance tune recorded in 1927 by Dick Burnett and Leon Rutherford for Columbia records. In the early part of the nineteenth century steam engines revolutionized travel and were widely used on large boats plying rivers and lakes. Smaller steam engines were used on pleasure-crafts allowing for a pleasant Sunday outing on the water.
