About This Image
Radiant Afternoon Light – River Street Savannah Canvas Print by Mark Tisdale.
This River Street Savannah canvas print captures the warm tones of radiant afternoon light pouring down one of the city’s most visited streets. It’s based on photos I took one afternoon while visiting the Georgia coast in and near Savannah. It was one of those moments where the sunlight hits just right, warming up the old buildings and the skies overhead. It was such a rich scene with the passing streetcar that I instantly knew I wanted to capture that feeling.
Savannah’s River Street is such a rich mix of textures and time. The buildings wear their history with pride from the weathered bricks, to the wrought iron balconies and the old storefronts that have seen generations pass through. From the days when cotton shipped from here to now, there’s always a hum of activity along here.
People dash across the cobblestone street, duck into candy shops or galleries, and stop to watch the ships or street performers near the river. It’s the kind of place where you don’t need an agenda. You just time and curiosity to take in the sights and enjoy the vibes of River Street.
For years buses outfitted to look like streetcars have carried tourists along River Street and other points in Savannah. But in this scene, “Dottie” (that’s the streetcar’s name) was just making her way along the original tracks down the middle of River Street. Dottie is an authentic streetcar, originally from Melbourne, Australia.
The classic art deco streetcar was brought to Savannah years ago to revive a little of the city’s rail history. Savannah’s original streetcars were scrapped in the mid-1900s, like in so many cities, but this one was restored and reintroduced to the waterfront. She has since been retired from service but she adds a bright spot to this Savannah canvas print.
This River Street Savannah canvas print is about that balance: the light, the movement, the mix of old and new. If you’ve visited before, I hope it brings back a bit of that warmth and charm. And if you haven’t yet, maybe it gives you a glimpse of why people fall in love with Savannah.
I actually spent a lot of my first visit to this part of the Georgia coast out on Tybee Island, but River Street left a strong impression. There’s something about it that reminded me of New Orleans. Different cities of course with their own unique histories, but I think the age and the European influence of these old cities marks them out as different and special.
Are you here looking for a memento from your trip to Savannah, Georgia? Or perhaps Savannah is a current or past home for you? Or you’re looking for the perfect gift for someone who loves this beautiful coastal city? Whatever the case, I hope this River Street Savannah canvas print speaks to you. Maybe this scene will bring a little of that golden light into your space or make the perfect present.
If you have any questions before or after purchasing, feel free to reach out. And if this print sparks a memory or a story of your own time in Savannah, I’d love to hear it.
Canvas Print – Product Information
Stretched canvas prints are a timeless way to enhance your home or office decor. Whether your style is traditional or modern, canvas art offers a versatile and sophisticated look that complements any space.
Each canvas print is custom-made to order, printed on an acid-free poly/cotton blend canvas using archival inks. This ensures your artwork will last a lifetime, retaining its vibrant colors without fading or losing detail.
When placing your order, you’ll have the option to choose between glossy or matte finishes. The glossy finish adds a subtle sheen, making colors appear more vivid, while the matte finish offers a softer look with reduced glare, making it ideal for brightly lit spaces. Let the natural light in your room guide your choice.
You can also select from three wrap styles for your canvas print:
- Mirrored wrap: The image extends around the sides of the canvas, preserving the integrity of the original artwork. This is the most popular and versatile option.
- Black wrap: A solid black color on the sides of the canvas.
- White wrap: A clean white color on the sides of the canvas.
A preview of each wrap style is available for you to view when selecting your option.
Once printed, your canvas is carefully stretched over a sturdy wooden frame made of 1.5″ x 1.5″ stretcher bars. The entire production process takes 5 to 7 business days. Your canvas print will be shipped in secure packaging with a hanging wire attached and all necessary hardware included, making it a convenient, ready-to-hang artwork.
