Mystic Beach Trail painting by Barry Tate Gallery of Fine Art - acrylic paintings and watercolor paintings

MYSTIC BEACH TRAIL
This is my second painting of the trail to Mystic Beach. One just wasn't enough, it is too beautiful! It is located off the road between Jordan River and Port Renfew on the south coast of Vancouver Island and is one of the best walking trails around. A beautiful quiet and easy walk along a wide soft and leafy path makes one quickly forget about jobs. I particularly liked the inviting sunlit area in the distance set against the dark and noble old growth forest. A not too inviting winter storm smashed down dozens of giant Fir and Hemlock trees recently, paving the way for new growth of light-loving fauna.

The day I took the original photos, a young couple were having a formal wedding on the beach. We actually followed the white clothed bride-to-be and her formally dressed father along the path for a while. A poetic charming mixture that echoed the forest trail itself.

ORIGINAL PAINTING:

30" x 40" acrylic on 3/4" clean-edge canvas. ( 28x38 face dimension )
A clean-edge painting can simply be hung "as is" for a modern contemporary look, or by using an optional frame that suits your decor.

GICLÉE PRINT
Giclée prints are the best type of reproductions available today.
They are supplied with a double acid free mat and foam backing board. All you need is a common 16x20" frame.
Mat options are:
    silver gray with dark blue inner mat - nice traditional look that fits well. A mid to dark colored frame looks best
    dark blue on dark blue - dramatic and bold look, very powerful. Best with a light colored frame like metallic or wood.
    white on white - traditional gallery choice, classy and elegant. Goes with all decors. Best with a mid to medium dark frame.
