This scene reminded me of my father who had built a couple of boats for the family over the years. It was something he did with care and pride with a skill that had been passed down through the generations. Throughout history the water has been as much a part of life to most Nova Scotians as the air we breathed. We used to worry that it was a dying art and it made me so happy to see that they are carrying on the tradition at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic along the Halifax Waterfront that I was inspired to share it. This painting has been donated to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic and it's staff on behalf of the Contemporary Art Society in appreciation for the support they have shown our organization over the years.
