Cowichan Bay, BC September 20

It was enjoyable to return to “Cow Bay” and walk down the main street with the locals and visitors. Hilary’s Cheese Shop, the True Grain Bread & Mill Bakery and Udderly Guy’s Ice Cream were filled many with the desire to treat themselves to fresh and wholesome products. Beyond filling the gourmet gullet the treat of walking into and through Arthur Vickers Shipyard Gallery is a must! Arthur’s prints are exquisite and unique. We feel guilty at walking in and leaving without a purchase. I told Arthur and his wife that the third time back would be the charm. Many of the prints remind the viewer of places they have traveled to, especially we mariners wandering around Vancouver Island and Desolation Sound. There is magic hidden within each print too. The changing of the lighting or physically moving oneself, colors change or another layer/s appears. Awesome indeed. With a bit of luck we will own an Arthur Vickers print.
