As a family we used to travel a lot and my parents continued to do so for a long time. This scene was likely done from one of their photos from Nova Scotia, Blue Rocks near Peggy's Cove. I will have to check the photo collection on a USB stick that Mom gave me over Christmas break. They remember taking this picture which is probably in my art drawer. The painting captures the details, complex reflections, and the atmospheric effects of a damp and foggy harbour. I only painted once on location in Nova Scotia, it was of the pier down in Halifax Harbour done on a conference. Going out to the Maritimes again would be nice.
