Canoe Series #55

Canoe Series #55

This is the 55th sculpture in my Canoe Series. You will notice the edition number and my signature engraved on the back of the red canoe. My Canoe Series started with a small edition of six in 2016, and there are now a total of fifty-six in the growing edition. Number 55 was created in November of 2024, and even if I create more in the future, this will always be one of the first fifty-six 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 stone that I have selected for this piece has a mixture of quartz and other rusty coloured minerals that compliment the red canoe and green pine well. I hope that this piece reminds you of paddling on your favourite lake or river whenever you view it. The piece, with its bright red canoe set on a unique stone, really “comes to life” when placed by a window.

    Muskoka Magic

    The Autumn leaves shiver with excitement. The Pines bow to the winds as they whicper their secrets. A distant Loon laughs in reply to the whispering winds, and the stoic Granite remains silent knowing it is the foundation of all that is Muskoka magic.

    Huron Shores

    Breaking waves caress the inhabitants of distant shores in hypnotic rhythms.  Pebbles glisten and turn, becoming one with the smooth and rippled sand beneath them.  A lone Pine clings to all that supports it, and life continues on Huron’s shores.

    Kayak Series #2

    This collector piece is one out of a growing edition that I started creating in 2016. You will notice that the edition number and the artist’s signature is engraved on the back of the kayak, so as more pieces are created in the Kayak Series in the future, the lower edition numbers will translate to an increase in value with the passage of time.
