Shawanaga Traditional
Description:
As my childhood summers were spent on our island at Point auBaril, we often went on picnics down
Shawanaga Bay and out to 'the open'. We would pass these simple frame cottages perched precariously on small granite islands as we manouvered through small channels to the open waters and shoals of Georgian Bay.
I have always admired these modest cottages with their big verandahs and the pink rock leading down to the water and a weathered wooden dock. There are still a few around that have not been added to or drastically modified and they remind me of simpler days on Georgian Bay.
This piece is made of wet molded vegetable tanned cowhide and coloured with water based dye and watered down acrylic paints. It is mounted on a piece of hardwood plywood and has a picture hanging wire screwed to the back, for hanging. It is not meant to have a frame.
Specifications:
16" x 9 1/2" x 2 1/4" deep
