Your View On Canvas

Capture the magic of a place that speaks to your soul. Whether it’s a special overlook, a lakeside retreat, your backyard on Lake Superior, or a secret hiking path in the Hiawatha forest—you can now commission a professional fine art painting of your view.

Each painting is created in Gary McCaslin’s signature impressionist style, with careful attention to light, atmosphere, and a deep reverence for the U.P.’s natural beauty.

What is "Your View On Canvas"?

Your view forever on canvas

Have a favorite spot in the Upper Peninsula? Whether it’s the view from your cabin, a hidden trail, or a peaceful shoreline, Gary will personally visit the location, study the light, and select the most compelling composition to paint. Your vision becomes a timeless plein air-style oil painting—one that captures not just the place, but its feeling.

How it works

1. Tell Me About Your View – Share your location and what makes it special.

2. Reserve Your Spot – Choose your painting size, receive a quote, and secure your date with a deposit.

3. On-Site Visit – I visit your spot to sketch, photograph, and choose the best composition.

4. Painting Creation – Your vision comes to life on canvas in my studio (or partly on-site for plein air authenticity).

5. Delivery – The finished piece is delivered or shipped, ready to hang and treasure.
