"HANDMADE CANOE-PIERCY CIRCA1880" by Alicia Tredway

8 x 8 inches oil on canvas panel.  Painted from an old vintage photograph.  Since it's the river close to my place I had  special interest.  I obtained permission to use the photo from Diane Hawk who wrote 'A Glance Back' .....Northern Mendocino County History.

  2. Such a great subject! I have often thought it would be a fun project to breath some colorful life into old black and whites from the region. This one has a sense of immediacy, like the fisherman is staring back at us through the ages...
