Filtered light reaches stone and water from above, and shadows fluctuate on these solid and fluid surfaces in a dance of recognition and solace. Seasons change in resilient cycles of freeze and thaw, while visitation continues with mixed expectations and appreciation. Leave this place as you found it for others to discover and allow the secrets to remain in the shadows of the speckled islet.

We stand together through times of joy and accomplishments, as well as through hardships and seemingly unrelenting grief. Continue to support each other as members of the world community, and we will endure with renewed strength and love.
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 canoe, so as more pieces are created in the Canoe Series in the future, the lower edition numbers will translate to an increase in value with the passage of time.
Brush strokes record this primal land in ways unseen before. Colour and textures are borrowed from the landscapes with imaginative flare, as thoughts of profit are replaced by the appreciation of nature’s priceless gifts. Seek the patience and understanding of names such as Thomson, Jackson, and Harris, as you pass through these lands. Their memories live forever in brief moments bathed in sunlit splendour and cloud shrouded mystery. Take time to pause, reflect, and admire this gift presented to all of us by the painter.
This island oasis shelters us from all distractions. Far from constant connectiveness and worries brought on by leaders with misguided direction. We rejoice in the blessing of this place, and give thanks in the knowledge that we are truly alone.
