Tourists On St. George Street, 1978

Stephen Scott Young is known for his watercolor paintings. Each piece usually preceded by numerous drawings, sketches, studies, and preparatory paintings. The spirit of these works in progress are eagerly sought by collectors. Inspired by the work of Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, and Andrew Wyeth, Young has painted highly finished, detailed figurative subjects.

"Tourists - St. George Street" takes the viewer back in time when the tourist activity was that of a sleepy, seaside town. The storefront with the oak barrel outside harkens back to a simpler time in the oldest city in America. The shaded pavement offers respite from the warm Florida sun as the travelers enjoy a leisurely stroll along the iconic St. George Street.
