R.T. Todd "She's A Grand Old Dam" – 1988 Watercolor Print, 24x20"

R.T. Todd painted the Big Bear Dam in July of 1988, right at the end of its $11 million earthquake safety retrofit and just before the crews finished up, and he called it She's A Grand Old Dam. That is what makes this one worth having on a wall in Big Bear, because it is a picture of one specific summer in the valley's history, drawn from an architect's angle in soft natural tones that keep the whole thing calm instead of technical. Anybody local will stop in front of it and then tell you exactly where they were that year. This framed watercolor print measures 24 x 20 x 2.5 inches in its custom frame.
