Chris de Combe "Harbor Vista" Acrylic on Canvas Painting Original Chris De Combe Stretched Canvas Painting – Whimsical Waterfront Folk Art Description Up for auction is a beautifully preserved, 100% original hand-painted canvas by noted regional artist Chris De Combe. Featuring the artist's signature vibrant folk-art aesthetic, this piece captures a charming row of colorful, multi-story coastal buildings bordering an active waterfront promenade.

The piece features an immaculate, clean canvas back mounted securely on standard wooden stretcher bars. The original gallery or boutique pricing sticker remains intact on the reverse frame, further validating its heritage. Artist Information Chris De Combe is a regional Canadian visual artist who operates out of the historic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.

His pieces celebrate scenic local landscapes, coastal architecture, and whimsical European-inspired harbors. His original works circulate regularly within Southern Ontario estate sales and private collections.
