I spent some time in Canada’s Maritime provinces in the summer of 2022. Peggy’s Cove and the surrounding area was one of my favourite places. I saw the famous Peggy’s Point Lighthouse and toured the village of Peggy’s Cove. Being a prairie girl from Saskatchewan I was taken in by the enormity of the ocean and the beauty of the surrounding landscape and rocks. Then I came upon this long-forgotten dory. It looked so perfect there, perched up on the rocks it’s days on the water over. I took several photos of it but none of my photos captured the scene as well as the image I used for my painting, thank you atom_lk (Instagram) for allowing me to use your photo.
