DETAILS


FISHERMAN'S  COVE 

Here is my latest painting inspired by my favorite seaside town of Peggy's Cove, a small historic fishing village in Nova Scotia.

If ever you have the chance to visit eastern Canada, be sure to include this town in your itinerary.  This small picturesque town was founded in 1811 when German settlers were given land grants by the government of Nova Scotia.  These settlers mostly earned their living as fishermen, but they also farmed areas that were fertile and pastured cattle.  Today it is one of Nova Scotia’s favourite tourist destinations, tourism has surpassed the fishing industry as the main source of income in this town after the Second World War, but lobster fishing is still practiced here.  

Thank you for viewing my work!!!
