Description
The front of a two-stall garage. An image is painted on the garage door. This image has a dividing center line and borders that are left unpainted. The painting depicts two men sitting on the rocks to the left. To the left a woman lays on the rocks on her back. Her hair flows into the water between the figures and becomes a school of green fish. The shadow of a bird in flight is reflected on the water's surface. Text painted at the bottom of the door reads "Legends of the Lake Whitefish."
