Fishing in Ontario

Description

This delightful hand-painted signboard by Kevin Roach channels the spirit of summers spent lakeside—sun-drenched docks, tackle boxes, and the quiet thrill of casting a line into still water. Fishing in Ontario captures Roach’s nostalgic vision of cottage country with a wink and a grin, featuring bold vintage-style lettering alongside two hand-carved wooden fishing lures that double as playful sculptural elements.

A loving tribute to the artist’s roots and namesake studio, Roach Tackle, this piece evokes memories of family fishing trips, old tackle shops, and handmade signs nailed to tree trunks outside summer cabins. Its weathered paint and rustic frame call to mind the patina of long-loved places—verandas, bait sheds, and cedar-strip boats.

Equal parts advertisement, artwork, and time capsule, Fishing in Ontario is a quintessential Roach creation: personal, humorous, and steeped in the aesthetic traditions of Ontario folk art and the broader Eastern Seaboard. For collectors, it’s a celebration of outdoor heritage rendered with charm, craftsmanship, and regional pride.
