~ 4.5” x 6” ink, pencil & paint on paper. 2024.

An August sailing adventure to remember! We spent a day and night on the hook in Winter Cove off Saturna island and Samuel islands in the Gulf islands, BC. This is looking through Boat Pass, which is between both the islands and sometimes passable by boat depending on the height of the tide. I did 4 variations on the quick-changing view from the stern of our sailboat as the gorgeous sunrise technicolor began the new day.

On a sailboat trip among the San Juan (US) and Gulf islands (BC), I brought a small stack of water color paper, paint and brushes to document the play of the sun on the water and islands. This small watercolor study hopefully conveys the magic that is sailing among the islands in high summer.
