Anchors and Buoys

At Peggy’s Cove, the brightly coloured equipment and boats of the fishers stand in contrast to the muted greys, and blues of rock, sky and sea. There is a relative calm within the cove as the surf breaks on the rocks just beyond the mouth of the cove. DETAILS 6″x12″ Acrylic on canvas DATE 2011…

Winter on the Hill

Our woodshed stands on the hill above the house. It’s wood shingles, once painted white, have aged to a soft grey that belongs in this snowy, grey skied landscape. Even it’s once red trim has weathered to match the stalks of the banks of wild roses that line the path up  the hill. DETAILS 14″x18″…

Jo Beale’s
