That's No Moose, upcycled vintage painting
That's No Moose, upcycled vintage painting
We often go up north in Ontario camping in Algonquin park, and one of our favourite things to do is to spot moose wading through the lakeshores as we drive by. This one's a nod at that excitement of spotting a big creature in the wild, and love thinking of walkers meandering through the Ontario lakes searching for rebel scum!
The original vintage painting is signed Gibbons and was collected locally in Ontario. I think it is a particularly nice landscape because of the unexpected branches and shapes of the trees... a sign that it was painted from an actual view rather than made up from the artist's imagination. The frame is vintage, had some chips which I touched up in kintsugi style (embracing the imperfections!) Wired and to display on the wall.

While I have collected a few of Heather’s original artworks this one has very quickly become my favorite. The original painting and frame were stunning alone but adding the walker to it gave it so much life and personality!!
