Colourful and vibrant canvas limited editions are each signed and numbered by Artist Jill Louise Campbell. The canvas artwork is crafted locally on Salt Spring Island using archival inks and advanced printing technology. All prints are carefully top-coated for added UV protection, providing flexibility to hang in bright sun-filled spaces. Small & Medium Limited Editions are stretched by hand onto Canadian-made wood stretcher bars, ready to hang and enjoy. The Large size is normally shipped rolled due to its size, with stretching easily done by your local framer.
This painting Russell Island Homestead was originally painted with acrylic paint on canvas. The reproduction in the medium size is larger than the original painting, this accentuates the look of the background weave pattern from the original canas background. Artist Jill Louise Campbell has suggested that if you prefer this softened, the addition of original enhancing would be a good choice.
Original enhancing is when artist Jill Louise Campbell adds original painting on top of the reproduction, the layers of acrylic colour provide texture and lets the artist reimagine the panting. Original enchasing also adds artist Jill Louise Campbells signature gold outline work, giving life and sparkling vitality to your painting.
Russel Island Homestead : Art Print
‘Russell Island Homestead’ and ‘Mahoi House’ two views of a beloved heritage home on tiny Russell Island, located at the mouth of Fulford Harbour by Salt Spring Island. Over my boating years this was a favourite destination. Now a Provincial Park, only boat accessible without dock and so moorage is the only option. Once anchored, a row ashore one is transported to a century ago. A worn path twists about part of the island eventually finding its way to this tiny house. Overgrown orchards, yesteryear homestead are the treasure. Maria Mahoi of Hawaiian descent acquired the island, raised over a dozen children, farmed the wilds and sailed for her pleasure about the island. Legendary! Her relations over the years have come into the gallery asking if I would paint the old homestead. Jill
