Yellow House and Boats

Nova Scotia

The arrangement of house, stone, and boats in this bright, engaging painting is enthralling and powerful. We particularly love how the hulls of the dories echo the lines of the granite rocks, even to the extent that the boat that lies across the stones fits their curve perfectly.

Human life–manifested in the boats and in the house–is bound to the bedrock of this place. The stones that form the foundation of the house and the curving staircase reinforce the bond.
