"Boilers" on the North Shore

"North Shore #1"

"North Shore #2"

"North Shore #3" acrylic on canvas paper, 16x20"

Here is the finished triptych I have been working on this week. The term "boilers" refers to the circular reefs found here that when the waves break over them, give the appearance boiling water frothing out over the top. The paintings are each acrylic on paper that is textured with a canvas like finish and I plan on framing them under glass individually but to be hung as a trio. I have also just discovered the the Bermuda Arts Centre that I visited yesterday has an open call for their juried summer show so I have decided to enter some of my recent paintings, fingers crossed!

Dockyard

Finally, a relatively sunny day! All be it with a shower or two this morning, the weather finally lifted enough for us to make the trip out to Dockyard. The ferry ride there was so beautiful as the views of the Island from the water are just incredible. I visited the Bermuda Arts Centre where my favourite Bermuda based artist, Jonah Jones, has a studio. Full of inspiration, I drove back on my moped and I stopped to photograph some of the small bays along the very northern tip of the Island. Unfortunately, my bike then broke down and I had to call out the bike shop to come and deliver me a new moped but that's another story! Here is the painting I did when I got home:
