Last summer, Dianna and I had the privilege of being in Victoria BC on the most amazing August evening imaginable. It's difficult to describe. The city was fully alive: a bagpiper, double-decker busses, tourists, huge baskets of flowers hanging from rows of globed lampposts. The impressively grand Empress Hotel served as the backdrop to Victoria's Inner Harbour, filled with boats attending the Classic Boat Festival - all bathed in the light of a glorious sunset. In the bustle of it all, was this man rowing his boat to survey the beauty of the restored "Sockeye" and other vessels there. He caught my eye and I just knew the image had to become a painting one day, so here it is!
16x12" Acrylic. On hold until I can part with it (ha!) but I still wanted to share it with you here.
