"School's Out"
My new print is of Change Islands. I watched children get off of a school bus and run into a house. A few minutes later they ran out the back door, down over the hill on to a wharf and then jump in a boat. As they motored away from the dock, I could hear a woman's voice shouting, "Homework!" A friend pointed out to me, for Newfoundland children going out in a boat is a kind of homework.
I have removed their lifejackets, as I did not want the orange in the picture. They were playing safe.
The picture above is of the artist's proof, I hope to print the edition in the spring.
Because of the hand printing process, each sky is slightly different.
