Cape St. Mary's

In September 2014, my family and I traveled to Newfoundland, the homeland of my father’s side of the family. It was a fantastic trip. We went out to a gannet reserve at Cape St. Mary’s, on a particularly windy day. My brother is a birder, so he was on a quest to see the gannet rookery, and it was quite a marvelous place.

This is from a photo that I took on the walk out. The actual painting is 18″ x 24″ and the photo is not really doing it justice. I gave the painting to my brother for Christmas, though there’s not a bird in sight. (They are all down at the rookery.)
