Jack Dawson Adds Showboat to Inspirational Collection,

Noted Missouri artist Jack Dawson has created an original inspirational painting of the Showboat Branson Belle, the latest in his collection of inspirational paintings. Unveiled at the Showboat’s White River Landing June 16, prints of the new painting titled “An Incredible Journey” will be exclusively offered for three months at the Showboat and Silver Dollar City.

A longtime artist in Silver Dollar City’s Festival of American Music & Crafts, Dawson is best known for his “Seek and Find” series with hidden images and symbolism.

The Webb City, Missouri native said his inspiration for the painting of the Showboat Branson Belle was the analogy of a journey, with guidance by a captain to assure safe passage.

Prints of “An Incredible Journey” and additional prints of Dawson’s paintings are available at White River Landing, located one-half mile south of Table Rock Dam on Mo. 165.

The 700-seat Showboat Branson Belle cruises present the show Showstoppers! featuring nationally acclaimed comedian Todd Oliver and his live talking dogs. Each two-hour noon and dinner cruise includes the show and a three-course meal.
