In 2022 Hurricane Fiona struck and swept away 2 iconic local buildings seen in foreground of picture 2. The next day I found these old shingles strewn amongst debris in nearby rocks. I painted them with pre Fiona scenes and framed them.

In 2022 Hurricane Fiona struck and swept away 2 iconic local buildings seen in the foreground of second picture. The next day I found these old shingles strewn amongst debris in nearby rocks. I painted them with pre Fiona scenes and framed them. Oil paint on weathered old shingles from a yellow house and mounted on framed wood planks with a fishing net draped down one side. All three shingles depict harbour scenes, two of which are lighthouse scenes
