Painted for the 2014 Sharing the View Calendar. This is a project organized by CBC, Information Morning, Halifax and Sydney Nova Scotia.
All proceeds from calendar sales and the online auction of the 12 original paintings by 12 Nova Scotian artists are donated to Feed Nova Scotia. Calendars go on sale November 15 and the online auction begins. Check out the CBC info morning web site for details.
