Canoe Series #52

This is the 52^nd  sculpture in my Canoe Series. You will notice the edition number and my signature engraved on the back of the metal canoe. My Canoe Series started with a small edition of six in 2016, and there are now a total of fifty-two in the growing edition. Number 52 was created in March of 2024, and even if I create more in the future, this will always be one of the first fifty-two in existence. Its value will only increase with the passage of time. My Canoe Series pieces have evolved from small starter sculptures to larger and more detailed pieces, and most include a loon by attaching it to a foreground root. This gives the impression of it swimming peacefully by the front of the island. This piece features one loon swimming away from the island with the prevailing winds behind it. The very special amethyst that I have selected for this piece comes from the Blue Point Mine near Thunder Bay in Northern Ontario. I have created the pine boughs in violet hues to compliment the sparkle and colour of the amethyst. I hope that it reminds you of paddling on your favourite lake or river whenever you view it. The piece, with its amethyst splendour, really “comes to life” when placed by a window. $825.00
