Top Prize, Zancocho
10” x 8”
This painting is from a reference photo I took when visiting Block Island. I arrived just after the prizes were awarded for the Tri-State Canyon Shootout, and team Zancocho was celebrating their big haul, boating a 212 lb. Bigeye Tuna for the Tuna Jackpot. The lighting was fascinating among these mighty fishing vessels, and the boats were lined up and displaying their prizes.
"Top Prize, Zancocho" is framed in a Taos gray wooden frame with an understated grey/green rubbed finish with a warm reddish umber undertone. It has a Whistler style rich antique gold leaf inner lip with a soft rounded outer edge. The outside frame is a one piece routed panel so absolutely no separation at the corners. The frame is a 3 1/2" molding, so in the frame it presents as 17" tall by 15" wide. It's framed as shown ready to hang with felt pads to protect the wall. The canvas panel is a Raymar 56MC Medium Cotton is a professional grade double acrylic primed, 100% pure cotton duck canvas with a medium weave with uniform texture. This is my favorite painting surface because the absorbent canvas grabs the paint for an opaque effect yet keeps your brushstroke visible to create textured landscape. It particularly suits my technique of underpainting warm compliments in oil washes, which support the "real" color in the final painting. The archival 1/8" MDF has no added oils and the back of the board is sealed with gray melamine to prevent warping and deterioration. The paint is Winsor & Newton professional oil colors which are permanent. The painting is varnished and will last for hundreds of years.
