This illustrative piece of pyrography artwork is based on the legend of the ghost of Captain Norman Staples, a steamboat captain who perished in an explosion aboard his ship. His anguished spirit is said to hover protectively over each of the graves of his four children, all of whom died in early childhood.
This piece conveys both the grief and the devotion of parenthood while also honoring the legacy of a compelling ghost story.
Pyrography on birch ply panel measuring 8 x 10 inches. Sealed with spar urethane to protect against moisture damage and fading, but hanging away from direct sunlight is recommended. Hanging wire has been installed on the back, but may be removed and hung with the built-in keyhole, if preferred.
