Long Lake Ranch is a 2000 acre spread of heavy mixed woodland, open meadows, creeks, marshes, some decent hayfields & close to a mile of shoreline on Long Lake. The owners have retired from their other "on farm" ventures & are now just boarding a few horses & concentrating on their herd of Charolais.
They still love their horses .... they're way better than an ATV when your fixing fence, because the ATV won't come when you call it...........
The sign? This is made from 1.75" Corafoam 15lb ( Duna) & painted with Porter acrylics. It's about 27" square. The "silver" leaf is actually 19karat Caplain gold. Unlike other alloys of gold, which are cut with silver, Caplain is alloyed with palladium, which dominates the final colour. There's little if any cost saving, but it's more malleable & hence easier to work with than either pure palladium or aluminum leaf.
Sorry about the "misty" photo .... I took it early in the morning & a wee bit of fog lingered.
