In 1990 the Friends recruited two nationally known Onalaska Wisconsin wildlife artists to paint pictures which depicted the historic bridges along with area wildlife.
Limited edition prints were made of the pictures. The Friends then published and sold the prints to finance the repair and restoration of the McGilvray road and bridges.
As of June 2013, the artists have made two of the original oil paintings available for purchase. Part of the proceeds of the sale of these paintings will be donated to the Friends. Please see sale information below.*

Lot One - Surplus Prints form the Friends
Unsold prints from the Friends of McGilvray sales in the early 1990's. Click here for details.
Lot Two
I have framed prints of the first four prints that were produced back in the late 80’s. All 4 prints are #10, signed by both Mike and Art, and with pencil Remarque’s. The prints were matted and framed by Frames by James. They are in excellent condition.
Additionally, I also have the four matching commemorative plates, that match the prints, signed. The only reason that I am letting them go, is because last year, we downsized and now have no place to put them.
I am asking $150.00 for each framed print, and $25.00 for each plate, or the whole set for $650.00, but it is negotiable. If anyone is interested in these, I can be reached at dbald-deltadesign@centurytel.net, or call 608-797-0945.
