“Love That Dirty Water,’’ by Nils Johnson, a Lyme, N.H.-based painter (among this accomplished renaissance man’s various talents). The top layer of this painting is oil and the under-painting acrylic.
The title is a reference to a line from the popular 1965 song “Dirty Water,’’ a jovially sarcastic paean to Boston and the then infamously polluted Charles River and Boston Harbor. In the past couple of decades a celebrated cleanup has made it relatively safe to swim in the river. Bless those pesky regulations and state and federal taxpayers.
