Phyllis Vernon Painting

This is painted on plastic – It’s fun to work with since the effects are surprising and there is the extra challenge that water erases the colour – so building your layers is really interesting.

Puerto Escondido is on the south coast of Mexico on the Pacific Ocean.  It’s a small fishing town with surf big enough for competition ~ and there’s a daily fish market stocked by local fisherman who carry their catch across the beach from their little white fishing boats.  The women clean them on site and off you go with dinner under your arm.

My painting of St. Mary’s Church in King Township near Nobleton, Ontario, is one of a series of local historic sites.  Built in 1855, the church served the numerous Irish émigrés who settled in the area following the potato famine of 1847, some of whom are buried in the adjacent cemetery.  A number of residents of King have responded to this painting with pleasure as it brings back memories of their family history.
