This whimsical view of Squirrel Cove on Cortes Island was inspired by the fun I had doing "Whaletown Whimsy." It's an interesting challenge to create a new perspective of a familiar place. Squirrel Cove actually includes a large shoreline area and specifically refers to a popular cove for boaters. But the year round action is at the government dock and general store. This view is whimsical in many respects. I've played fast and loose with scale, spatial relationships, and human activities, but it's clearly Squirrel Cove
This Whimsy will be the month of March on the Nanaimo Rotary 2007 Calendar, a juried collection of Vancouver Island artists. For more info and to purchase calendar go to http://www.rotarycalendar.org.
