Fishing Boats Reflection - Oil on Canvas - 16x20
This scene is typical of what is commonly seen in Newfoundland during the spring and summer months. Fishing boats are lined off near wharves either getting ready to go for a fishing trip, or just getting in from one. I often loved looking at the boats reflected in the water. It's a pleasing serene scene, and I wanted to capture some of that in the color choice and stylized form.
I plan on painting more like this. I plan on taking my camera and visiting some of the small local communities very soon. Hopefully I'll capture some of the local fisherman offloading their catches....
