Welcome to Montreal: The Tall Ships

September 19, 2010

 

First post from our new home in Montreal Canada!

There’s been a lot of stuff going on keeping me away from drawing in the streets – but the occasion of the Tall Ships coming into the old port seemed like a great reason to break the dry spell.  We had five tall masted sailing vessels on display – with thousands of people out to see them up close. The star attraction being the Bounty – most famous for it’s role in the Gore Verbinski/Johnny Depp Pirates of The Caribbean.

    This work is absolutely wonderful! You captured so well the beauty of these fascinating ships that bring with them stories of pirates and distant seas…

      well, thanks very much Lucia :) I really did enjoy these old ships. They certainly change the feeling of the city just by being there!
