The Spit

The Spit, 2025

Original:  Acrylic on canvas, 48″ x 60″, $6995 + taxes

This painting is of Rebecca Spit Provincial Marine Park on Quadra Island, on the land of the We Wai Kai people, who run a campground nearby.  As you walk along the spit, you pass through a patch of old growth fir trees and at the end you face the islands of Desolation Sound where you may see the white Cortes Island ferry pass by.

In most of my paintings I think of the landscape as a metaphor for aspects of our life’s journey. A path through the landscape, is like time, continuously leading us forward into the unknown future.
