SECLUDED HARBOR

Artist's narrative: I did this painting from the view of the wheelhouse of my fishing boat on a crisp early spring morning. I was hoping that the artwork would capture the snug, cozy feel of the Inside Passage's almost secret harbor (Meyers Chuck). Small waterside cabins and a dock collecting objects that belong to the life of coastal dwellers. The smell of wood fires drift from cabin chimneys and the promise of purposeful days uncluttered by busy city life. The painting is entwined into a chart that encompasses the area from Dixon Entrance to above Cape Spencer including all of the Tongass National Forest and the Inside Passage waters of Southeast Alaska.
