Shores of Leech Lake *sold

It has been some time since I have painted on a cradled wood panel. Wood panels keep the paint on the surface and really let the layers stand out. This panel is 1.5" thick which really adds a nice dimension to the final piece as well. 

This is a small 8" x 10" acrylic painting. The inspiration is from the Walker Bay Regatta. The Shores of Leech Lake Yacht club is the center for activity during the regatta. This scene captures the boats as they prepare to head into the big lake. Since moving back to Minnesota I have been inspired, once again, to paint sailing scenes. 

The cradled panel is by Fox Haase Mfg out of Wisconsin and is made with Baltic Birch. Fox Haase sent me a panel sample to test for my store - Peculiar Painter. I am happy with the panel and plan on carrying these panels in the store soon. It is nice to carry a fine product made in the midwest. 

Shores of Leech Lake is available to view or for sale at Peculiar Painter in Walker, MN. $110.00
