This original oil on board painting is the smallest rendition of several paintings of the same tree on the side of the Okanagon's Skaha Lake painted by DM Flather.

This oil painting features a somewhat famously known scraggly pine tree on the shore of Skaha Lake, BC. Made famous from a CPR passenger rail brochure printed in the early 1900's that showed this tree along the beautiful Skaha Lake hillside. Unfortunately, the tree was apparently cut down by mistake by railway maintenance crews at some time after Donald spotted it.

This painting comes from Donald's popular "Okanagon Lake Area BC Paintings Series" that Donald painted circa 1953 and prior.

Comes with a bold new gallery style frame featuring an antiqued gold outer frame and white linen inner liner valued at $400.00 CAD.

*Pricing Note: As I wish to exhibit this painting in all of the Exhibitions in 2026, I am offering it at a 25% discount off the price that will be in place after the last exhibition which will be $3,362.50 CAD. So if purchasing before the 2026 Exhibitions, to qualify for the 25% discount I would ask that the Collector make the painting available for any remaining Exhibitions. The plan is to hold one or two Exhibitions in BC, one Exhibition in Alberta and one Exhibition in Ontario.
