Artist: Roy Henry Vickers
Medium: Poster
Image Size: 10" x 14 3/8"
Size Including White Border: 13" x 16"

After many years of canoeing and some epic journeys under my paddle, I am grateful to hundreds of people who have helped me enjoy some fantastic experiences on the West Coast of Canada. Pulling together with family, friends, and acquaintances is part of those incredible memories. My longest trip in a canoe was 1700 kilometers in 29 days. The coldest dip in the ocean after capsizing with my son, Gord, was in February at -5 degrees Celsius. One year, I received a silver medal for bravery from the Royal Life Saving Society for a canoe rescue of some unfortunate canoeists near Tofino, B.C. 

The canoe in this inspiration is familiar and can be seen tied up at the Tofino waterfront. Old West Coasters will be familiar with the waterfront sunset and the beauty of the West Coast canoe form. 

The serene moments of twilight on the West Coast echo a time I've come to in my life when I enjoy more peace and tranquility than ever before. I am thankful for this life, I live in one of the most beautiful places, on earth.

Thank you, Chris, for your inspiration.
