NOTE #1
The reason I added "in exile" with my signature on these paintings was because that was exactly how I felt land locked in Central Canada for a very long time. I only wanted to come home to Nova Scotia pretty much the whole time I lived away, even bursting into tears on the drive back after visits back home and therefore earning me the label of the worst driving companion ever.

NOTE #2
The shed paintings were done around 1999 - 2000 while we spent a year in Mahone Bay. I had a show and sale at Mimi's Ocean Gallery during that time.
​
I decided to put the directions - how to get there - in text along the borders.
​
I signed the paintings 'in exile' as I definitely felt that while being 'marooned' inland in Ottawa for too many years. I sometimes wonder how I survived my ennui and homesickness all those years away from Nova Scotia.
