Cape Cod Dad Shocked To Discover Paintings Can Depict Subjects Other Than Ships

February 20, 2021 by Mary Colussi

Lifelong Harwich resident Dan O’Hoolihan thought something was very wrong with his eight-year-old daughter when she brought home her first painting from school last week.

“There is nothing seaworthy about a dinosaur princess,” said O’Hoolihan. “But when I called the school in a panic, they informed me that not all art is boat-related. Naturally, I was shocked—every piece of art I’ve ever seen on the Cape is nautical themed. I always thought Mona Lisa was smiling because she’d just come back from a successful crabbing expedition.”

Following his realization, Mr. O’Hoolihan tried his hand at painting, describing his first piece as a “celebration of the American countryside, imbued with a nostalgia for halcyon days of yore.” But after he showed it to us, we can confirm: It’s just a picture of a wooden boat.
