Return to Whalehead                 Alkyd


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.
