A little side project that\u2019s hopefully coming in on the truck today. \u00a0The Straits Foundation just finished a project on Orcas Island in the San Juans that will help fish, a lot! West Beach Creek was blocked by two old culverts, so out they came and a giant culvert the size of Texas went in to make fish passage easier. In fact, I doubt the fish will even realized they\u2019re in a culvert at all. A fairly amazing change and a real credit to the land owner for making this all \u00a0happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, here I came with small budget but a speedy paint brush. These two illustrations are separate paintings, pieced together on the panel. I also did the design, collaborated on the text and handled the fabrication in aluminum.  Another little piece of art on a beach, which makes NINE of these around Puget Sound and the Strait in the past two years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here is the final installation. Thanks again Lisa and Carolyn at the Northwest Straits Foundation in Bellingham, WA for allowing me to push some paint again for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks for reading this week.
