"Oceans of fun at the artist retreat"

February 01, 2009 in Bamfield, Art and Science, Art Retreat

M.V. Frances Barkley, built in 1958

I thought we were going on the Lady Rose but in fact we sailed on the M.V. Frances Barkley. We left at 8:30 am Saturday January 24th from Port Alberni and arrived at the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre dock around 11:30. We had a great boat trip -about halfway we left the bad weather behind and could see clear skies and sunshine ahead. We had good weather the whole time away; the last night we were there it snowed while we were sleeping and we awoke to a few inches of snow on the ground. It didn't rain once while we were there.

This is one of the first glimpses of West Bamfield -straight across from the Marine Sciences Centre. I will be posting more about the trip.

"Ear of the Sea". Northern Abalone, Haliotis kamtschatkana. Hali = of the sea, Otis = ear. The Northern abalone is an endangered and threatened species. I found these empty shells during the big wind storm in December. I love to study all the different species in the intertidal zone. I put my shells back where I found them, after I draw them.  #abalone #bigbeachucluelet #tourismucluelet #uclueletbc #blackrockoceanfrontresort #ilovebc #endangeredspecies #yyjartist #naturalhistoryillustration
Rockweed, bladderwrack, pop weed, Fucus gardneri, Heiltsuk/Haíɫzaqv - T̓ísṃ-s wáwádi 
Rockweed is a brown seaweed with an olive green to yellow-brown colour. On mature rockweed, the terminal branches swell to form forked air bladders that have a bumpy, warty texture. #seaweed #rockweed #bladderwrack #sourceofinspiration #tourismucluelet #uclueletbc #beautifulbc #hellobc #vancouverisland

Drawing with acorn cap ink. I love this colour. Thanks to #jasonlogan of #makeink for the recipe. Studies of older seashells with worm tubes and sponge borings , make for interesting textures.  #bcartist #artiststudio #homeawayfromhome #canadianartist #yyjartist #ink #acornink #drawing #artflatlay #texture #markmaking #mixedmediaartist #natureflatlays
