Vintage Vest I

Every lake house has one — the old life vest hanging on a hook by the back door, faded from seasons of sun and water, its nautical print worn soft and its hardware gone slightly golden with age. Vintage Vest I pays affectionate tribute to that object. Rendered in loose, detailed watercolor on a clean white ground, this classic buoyancy vest with its red nautical-print fabric, tie closure, and buckle strap carries the weight of a hundred summer days. It is a piece with a sense of humor and a sense of history — and guests who have spent time on the water will love it for both.

Canvas

Our canvas art is printed on thick, archival-grade canvas to ensure durability. It is pH neutral and acid-free, so it will not yellow over time. Our solid wood stretcher bars ensure that the canvas print does not warp or bow over time. The rounded edges and beautifully beveled sides of our stretcher bars allow minimal contact with the canvas.  All Canvas prints come image wrapped in 1.25" thickness with sawtooth hanging hardware.
