BC Author and Watercolor Artist
An orphan Biggs Buddies up
Email Us! Call Us!
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
10 x 14 Unframed Giclee Reproduction $160.50 (inc. pst) plus $30 packaging&postage
$175 Amer, shipping included
After receiving several requests for giclee reproduction of this painting, I decided yes. I contacted Art Ink Prints of Victoria and was so impressed with their proof I approved it without changes. I doubt that the observing eye would be able to distinguish between the original and the print. The first run of eight copies has sold out and I will be ordering more. Please email or facebook me to order, thanks.
Post-Christmas Opportunities
One reason businesses have sales is when stock begins to build and more room is needed for new offerings. This is true for artists as well and there is much debate in the community about whether we should have price reductions or hold to the stated price. I struggle with a shortage of wall space on which to hang my paintings, the number of which depends upon the number of new creations, how many are out in galleries and how many have sold.
I do have a number of prints available, for which I would like to find homes! So, from now until May 1, a number of print images, including a portrait of Bill Proctor, one remaining 'Full Moon Flood Tide' image, and three images of the Burdwood Group will be 40% off until May 1. Contact me if you wish to provide a home for one of these treasures..... they can be seen on my Bio page, click on the menu and hover over the image for information.

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! Retailing at $20.00, Colour the British Columbia Coast promises a lot of enjoyable creative time....

Tide Rips and Back Eddies continues the tradition and offers an in-depth portrait of Blackfish Sound and more coastal history.
In Drawn to Sea, Yvonne 'creates stunning, lyrical word pictures of her home in the Broughton Archipelago'. Making the most of the tools available, from paintbrush to chainsaw, she has flourished in this remote area, carving out a home and a career in a place far from just about everyone.
