Title
Ships at Patricia Bay
Artist
Janet Ashworth
Medium
Mixed Media - Acrylic On Hardboard
Description
One of my favourite spots for both painting and photography is the shore of Patricia Bay and the Saanich Inlet, salt water which eventually reaches the |Pacific Ocean off the shores of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada.
This painting was done in acrylics on hardboard, and shows the wharves which accommodate the Canadian Coast Guard ships along with various others. The Inlet is very well protected from storms off the open Pacific and is a beautiful area for sailing and boating of all kinds.
A beautiful full color book of my favorite paintings and photographs is now available at this address:

. A little about me:
My name is Janet but I go by Jann, and I am originally from Ontario, Canada and have lived on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, since 1985.
I love the seacoast and mountains, so many of my photos are from British Columbia, Alberta, Vancouver Island, Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island. My main photo themes are sea, coastal,villages, people, portraits, mountains, trees, lakes, waterfalls, flowers, nature,wildlife, birds, animals, landscapes, sunsets, and the great National Parks of Canada such as Jasper,Banff, Waterton, Cape Breton Highlands, Yoho, Glacier, Kootenay,Mt. Robson, Strathcona and others.
In the art world, I was initially trained as a Commercial Artist and Illustrator and eventually explored many other methods of art/style as well as other mediums. I work in pencil, ink, acrylics, watercolor and oil pastels. I have also enjoyed mosaic design and application, floor murals, wall murals, collapsible screens, floor cloths, graphic design. Explored sculpture, ceramics, jewelry, hand painted furniture, refinishing old frames with gold leaf or faux finishes, interior design and interior decorating.
With the advent of digital cameras I came to really enjoy photography both as an artistic expression as well as a foundation for capturing interesting and exciting compositions to be painted later.
My recent creative endeavour was graduating from a certified Cosmetology Program (hairstylist and esthetics) in March 2009.
