- Fogo Island, Newfoundland Le P"tit Train de North leaving the field empty

leaving the field empty

and diverse wildlife

where weather systems shift rapidly along the rugged shoreline

and the force of gravity steadily doing its work

I seem to be drawn to places where water meets granite again and again

- Fogo Island, Newfoundland Le P"tit Train de North leaving the field emptyMy personal connection with this painting is not just about this famous and stunning seascape "Joe Batt's Arm" but its also about Fogo Island's fishing community. These small flat bottom boats are called punts still commonly used in this area for various activities, including fishing and exploring the beautiful coastline. Although the fishing culture is still considered a significant part of the community's identity and economy, it is nothing like it
