ISlandscapes

This series felt like it came out of nowhere.  But nothing comes out of nowhere.  I realized after the fact that our moving to Vancouver Island and purchasing a tug boat is, after 4 years - making its way into my subconscious and into my work.   These paintings are pictorial fragments of trip memories.  A visual documentation of how the ocean has gotten inexplicably beneath my skin.  Or how my skin has finally recognized what has always been there.
