"Grizzly Family at Embley Lagoon "
Email Us! Call Us!
This mother grizzly bear and her
three offspring were spotted
ambling around Embley Lagoon.
at the juncture of Grappler
Sound and Kenneth Passage.
Historically this lagoon
supported a run of coho, which
is much depleted this year.
I've wanted to portray the
enormous variety of food
choices available to these bears;
I managed fourteen and hope
you are able to identify each of
them. There are many more,
from mountain goats to ants,
grubs and maggots. I just didn't
feel like including the maggots. The grizzlies are struggling to find enough salmon to fill their bellies and have spread out to much smaller islands. They've been (atypically) spotted on numerous small islands of the Broughton Archipelago. How different each from the other these four animals are, from facial expression to the colouring of their fur. Careful study of the photos and lots of research into their habits taught me a lot about the similarities we share with these iconic animals.
And if you come up with an interesting title for this painting, please share it with me!
15 x 22 Watercolour $1995
Thanks to our visiting helper from Chile, Jonathan Poblete, who was lucky enough to accompany our community salmon spawning assessment crew on their journey to Embley Lagoon, and generously shared his photographs with me.

Yvonne's Books ~
If you are interested in the story of the Broughton Archipelago...look for these books on BC Ferries, independent BC bookstores, Billy's Museum or at SeaRose Studio near Echo Bay.
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! Retailing at $20.00, Colour the British Columbia Coast promises a lot of enjoyable creative time....
Read Bill Proctor and Yvonne's enduring classic of the history, people and places of the Broughton Archipelago - Full Moon Flood Tide - now a BC Classic with 10,000 copies sold! 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.
Available in your local bookstore, online or through Yvonne

'Murder Rides A Gale Force Wind', Yvonne's new novel is well underway and (hopefully) ready for publication in 2020. Will keep you posted! (Update, am completing the third draft...)

Colour the British Columbia Coast I am so happy to share that my adult (and kids!) colouring book has been very successful and is still available in independent book stores. I love it when people send me drawings they have coloured and tell me what it meant to them. Contact me anytime for signed copies, or come by for a studio visit..... |
