Typical of this artist, with her penchant for multiple layers, the canoe is etched into the paint to reveal it waiting on the shoreline. This artist’s abstracted landscapes and waterscapes are most often a tribute to her time spent on the water. This one is a beautiful colourful stand-out piece for that special spot. Gorgeous on it own, or hang with CABIN FEVER to create a statement of colour and interest.
Size: Framed to 17″ x 23″ in a solid natural-coloured wood 1″ deep float frame made by the artist. Oil on canvas, set off with the black painted inside of the float frame.
The Artist: Drawing was the one constant during Troy Stewart’s childhood on the seas. Troy was born in the Caribbean and raised on a sailboat, eventually staying on land long enough to graduate from the Bristol Art College in the UK. Since settling in Canada, she has earned her keep as an award-winning graphic designer for both corporate clients and non-profit organizations, all the while continuing her art practice through painting, photography and life drawing. Most recently Troy (known as TUS on her artworks) has developed a habit with oil paints, and has carried her attention to texture, abstract form and natural beauty into her new work. Cambridge, Ontario is now home for Troy, but the magnificent and ever-present horizons of her childhood inspire her still, and often appear in her work consciously and unconsciously.
