Working on ..
Update Nov 02
I would like to do a sketch of Santa, riding in a dory with seagulls towing the sleigh. This would be a hand painted bulb with a 'Christmes in the Maritimes' theme.
I just need to work out how to get a decent look to the sketch. This is the first try, but the theme is a little small. Ill try again later.

In the early 1970's I became known for my wood carved scenesof commercial fishermen. In time I began to work in marble and stone
and eventually ceramics. My themes also branched out to include
Wildlife, Caricatures, and Portrait Figurines.

"Steaker Cod"
A steaker cod refers to it being a really large fish. This fisherman is handlining from a dory such as would have been a very ling time ago.
Accessories in the boat include oars, his oiled leather sou-wester and coat, a water jug under those, a wood bailer under the thwart and the fishing line wrapped around a wooden frame, such as was common when I was very young.
