Raquette Lake painting by Virgil Finlay (1935)

What a beautiful painting. Finlay was amazing. Congratulations on a great addition to your collection.

Well you just helped me reduce my stress level at work by letting me stare at this for the last couple of minutes.  Thanks!

I'm with you on that, James.  Staring at this painting brings down my stress level too.  Just beautiful.

I'm obsessed with the color green.  It's a worse condition than my hand fetish.  If you had visited my office before I retired, you would laugh.  Everything was green, right down to my paper clips.  LOL!  CAF has a Most Viewed and a Most Commented count, but if it had a Longest Time Stared At counter, I would win.  This is stunning.  Congrats buddy!

A lovely and rare fine art piece by the pulp art master! He did this when he was just 21, which sounds impressive, until you find out he was already exhibiting his art as a 16 year old! A great piece that will look great on whichever wall you choose to hang it on. 😃

A great find show how versatile an artist Finlay was in different mediums as this was created for non commercial self expression.   

Too respectable to be on caf. 😉 Congrats!!

I haven't seen an oil like this before from Finlay - it is really nice, congrats on acquiring this special painting!

Very nice! Can't really tell from the image but looks like there's a ton of paint used. Great effects. 

So used to seeing Finlay's pen and inks on Sci Fi, this is a real nice take on something out of his norm.  Gorgeous colors.

Finlay with that French Impressionist touch!  Gorgeous!!
