  A few days after Christmas my
  daughter and were thrilled when
  My Hercules reported that a pod 
   of orca had surfaced near him
   while he was pulling our crab
   trap. I had been tending the kiln,
   firing a load of pottery. He took
   over kiln-sitting and my girl and
   I jumped into SeaRose and
   headed down the pass. Right
   away, I could tell by the more 
   pointy shape of the dorsal fin
   that the pod were transient orca,
   or Biggs, as they are now known.
   My 'best guess' was T002C group
   but I was stumped by the second bull. Jared Towers helped me out with an ID of (most likely) an orphan bull, T011A. I hope the two males had a lot of fun together. They certainly were completely unfazed by our presence. Often Biggs orca can be very evasive but these fellows cut right across the bow while we sat with the motor off, hoping for a good photo op. The one we got was well beyond our hopes (you can never have expectations!) The remaining two females and one juvenile seemed content to mosey along the shoreline while these two tacked back and forth across the channel.           10 x 14  Framed to 16 x 20    Original Watercolour     $995  plus pst

~ Colour the British Columbia Coast takes you to the southern Gulf islands, Pacific Rim park, the Broughton Archipelago and up the central coast to beautiful Haida Gwaii, featuring the people and places of our remarkable land/seascape. Drawings are printed on good quality paper for colouring or painting, each with a tear-out strip so you can mount or hang your picture. To the left of each drawing a short description of the scene, a book title or internet site offers more information about the topic. An Artist's Tip on each page too, which makes this book a whole lot more than just another colouring book! 
Colour the British Columbia Coast promises many hours of happy creativity....

Tide Rips and Back Eddies continues the tradition and offers an in-depth portrait of Blackfish Sound and more coastal history.
