“Sailboat in Fog” – oils on stretched canvas

Description

I based this painting based on a photo I took while on the boat back from my grandparents’ house on Piers Island; it was a soul-crushing day, as my parents and I were still struggling to sell our house in miserable Calgary, Alberta (accursed be its name).

Some months after we finally moved back to my birthplace of Vancouver Island, I channelled both the memory of sadness from that day and the great relief at my later return to the Island into “Sailboat in Fog”, which quickly became one of my most popular paintings.

After I painted this piece, the people who own the boat—which is called the Duen—liked it so much that they gave me a ride in it.  I got to climb out and lie in the net of the bowsprit.

Each matte canvas comes with back hanging already included for convenient placement. The frame is made with profile radial pine that is ethically sourced from renewable forests.

• Made with highly durable cotton and polyester canvas composite (9.82 oz/yd² (333 g/m²)) with a special proprietary coating for vibrant prints that last.
• This canvas is an eco-friendly option as the frame is made with radiata pine responsibly sourced from renewable forests.
• Hang the frame with confidence as the soft rubber dots in the back corners of the frame provide ample support and a stable result.
• Please note: Due to the production process of the canvases, please allow for slight size deviations with a tolerance +/- 1/8″ (3.2mm)
• I never use AI Slop tools. I paint my digital artwork stroke by stroke using a stylus.
