Grace & Speed

Signed by the artist, Doug Dunford, on the half title page. Book in excellent condition.

Painter Doug Dunford has long been fascinated by the boats of Muskoka, and has devoted many years to painting them. This volume contains some of his finest works. These paintings demonstrate the particular magic that can happen when art inspires art, when a skilled painter is moved by the work of skilled boat builders. Inspired by Dunford's paintings, writer Andrew Wagner-Chazalon tells the stories of these boats and this region. He brings to life the people connected to these boats, and examines the competitive drive that led them on a quest to build and own the best, fastest, most luxurious and most beautiful boats on the lake.
