To do this painting I was commissioned
by a group interested in restoring this famous hunting lodge to its original
condition. The lodge is to become a wildlife museum in the Currituck area
of North Carolina. The strange turquoise color of the roof is caused by the
patina of salt air on the copper roof. When restored, this will be one of
the gems of the Atlantic Coast.
I painted it as it existed in the 1920's & 1930's. Included are about 85 Canada geese, two duck hunting boats, decoys, a black lab, figures and six wild ponies common to the area.
