Original Oil on Panel Alexa Stirling at East Lake Painting by Artist Robert Fletcher - Framed
Alexa Stirling won the US Women's Amateur in 1916, 1919 and 1920. Artist Robert Fletcher expertly depicted the Canadian-American Stirling mid-swing in this original oil painting, with the subject dressed to the nines with a wide-brimmed hat and blue dress and East Lake Golf Club in Georgia. Bobby Jones' childhood golfing partner, Stirling was given the moniker 'The First Lady of East Lake' - The PGA Tour Championship's annual venue at the end of each August. From the highlight on the top of her left shoe to shading on her face opposite the light source, Fletcher uses a wide range of value throughout the composition.
Renown golf industry artist Robert Fletcher has dedicated nearly 40 years to refining his craft in the fine arts. His works are exhibited on the historic grounds of Cherry Hills and Colorado Golf Club in bronze busts, prior to participating as a lead artist in the recent Golf Heritage Society Meeting art workshop.
