By artist and shipwright Tony Grove.
"Boats are beautiful creations of functional art that bridge the world of art and science. Every time I see a wooden boat with the light hitting it just right, I cannot imagine running out of inspiration for my art."
In this book Tony Grove showcases 52 of his paintings, bringing the beauty of wooden boats to life. Based on Gabriola Island, BC, Tony captures the beauty of each line and curve of a boat on canvas. Inspired by these vessels, their history, and the lush gulf island landscape he calls home, Tony's art transports and transforms. As wooden boats deteriorate along Canada's coasts, he documents and preserves their legacy.
