Pastel painting - The Harbour at Night, Newfoundland
Ten years ago we bought a beautiful old, 2 story, wood framed house on the Bonavista Peninsulas, in Old Bonaventure, Newfoundland, We loved the house and the location, the landscape of the area, and the ocean views of Trinity Bay,
I have been inspired by the harbours up and down the coast, but especially by our working harbour with it’s old buildings, wooden stages, fishing premises, the old cemetery, and the fishing boats of all sizes and colours which come and go, in and out of the harbour. Over the years I have made many on-site sketches and worked those up into paintings, combining different elements and views into an imagined, dreamlike landscape, sometimes visions at night, often with icebergs floating by, lit by the moon and stars.
