This Fly-In Acres travel print is a giclee print of an original watercolor painting with hand drawn lettering done by Dave Christian in 2019.  The lettering is a hand drawn font featuring the name of lake and is apart of a series of Arnold, California's local lakes.  There are a lot of historical elements I included that tell a story spanning approximately 90 years! At the beginning of Fly-In Acres history there was an air strip in a big, beautiful meadow where the lake and Sequoia Woods golf course now sit. In (approximately) the 1930s - 50s people would fly-in their airplanes which is how the neighborhood got the name “Fly-In Acres”. There are even street names such as Lightning and Mustang that were named after WWII planes.

As for the lake/reservoir, El Toro sailboats were once raced around this lake. There was also a platform in front of the “small beach” (those that know the lake will know what I am describing) where people would swim out to, climb up, sit on or jump off. Since, there have been few changes to the lake except for the replacement of the platform to a dock, 2 lifeguard booths that were removed where you could buy treats and check out inner tubes, and the El Toro sailboats are now ghosts from the past.

This print is available online in 11x14 or 16x20.  30x40" canvas print size is available by contacting me in the Contact portion of this website.
