Hackett's Cove is one of the many small ports along the South Shore's Route 333. Hackett's Cove is situated southwest of Glen Margaret and south of Woodens River. Sunday drives with a young family would see us visiting the south shore and exploring these beautiful little communities.

The paintings of Hackett's Cove do not even scratch the beautiful surface. I painted a version of this inspiration in #2400 "Hackett's Cove Memories" during the summer of 2020 at the peak of COVID. We successfully avoided that disease until September 2024. 

I was using large brushes and lots of paint in an attempt to stay loose and painterly after a series of detailed bird portraits. 

We loved Nova Scotia ... sorry to leave, but I get to go back at least in my art.  

For this and much more art, click on Pixels or go straight to the Collections. Here is the new Wet Paint 2024 Collection. Best wishes for a happy and healthy 2025. 

In front of the Pacific Energy wood stove, using two palettes and lots of brushes.
The efficient stove uses outside air for combustion and consumes very little wood.  

Warmest regards and keep your paddle in the water,
