Fintry Manor

8 x 10 acrylic on canvas – sold

I painted this a few years ago when I was in Fintry, B.C. visiting friends.  On the west side of Okanagan Lake  is Fintry Manor which was built in 1911 by Captain James Dun-Waters.  He bought acreage on the lake and named the area Fintry after his home in Scotland.   Before his death Dun-Waters essentially gave Fintry Manor and all surrounding land to the Fairbridge Farm School, an English philanthropic entity that educated underpriviledged children to be productive farmers.
