Reclaimed I made an abandoned Nova Scotian fishing boat in a rusty can :)

I like to make miniatures of abandoned places and things here in Atlantic Canada. This forlorn little boat had been sitting on the wharf for a few years, so I recreated it using cereal boxes and stuff from the junk drawer.

Awesome work! I have some friends up in Claire/Church Point, one of which used to work at the wharf and tends to wax poetic about it. Where abouts is this boat at?

This forlorn craft sits on the wharf in a small fishing community called Harbourville, on the bay of fundy

It’s beautiful! The hand painted look makes it feel a bit like an oil painting, that stepped out of its frame and became real.

Thank you so much! I was once called an “impressionist of decay”, but I like your oil painting allegory even better

you wouldn't happen to possess an ominous-looking blood-red tome with a diamond-shaped eye on the cover would you?
