Six Coppers, indian petroglyph painting Barry Tate
SIX COPPERS

Six Coppers was inspired by the series of ancient indian petroglyphs. 
Few travelers have seen the original paintings as they are located in a remote and rugged area along BC's picturesque west coast. One could travel by boat to to the end of Smith Inlet (on the mainland roughly across from the northern tip of Vancouver Island). At this point you could pack a light kayak or canoe a few miles and launch it into Long Lake. Note the word Long.... On a rocky cliff near the middle of Long Lake  you will find the images above along with many other splendid examples of this ancient art form.
Conversely, I 'd be happy to ship you this painting or print and to heck with callouses!


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 metalics or wood.
    white on white - traditional gallery choice, classy and elegant.  Goes with all decors. Best with a mid to medium dark frame.
