“Tugboats IV” - mural painted onto two plywood boards with a total area of 8×8′, to be mounted on the wall facing the Dartmouth Harbor at 2 Maitland St.
Future site of the Dartmouth Community Art Mural Project!
This weekend I went down to Dartmouth in the blazing sunshine to paint a mural of tugboats onto two large panels of plywood combining to form an 8×8′ mural. I got quite the sunburn.
It will be installed on the wall and up very soon — on the far left end of the wall.
This is the same spot where the Coal Train used to be.
The paint on the wall was peeling badly and all the murals were removed, the walls washed and re-primed, and here we go again with new murals for the next three years. The murals are slightly larger this year, and they follow a marine theme.
There are a lot more murals in Dartmouth than there were a few years ago. Please visit the Dartmouth Cove Harbor Walkway to see a street-level gallery invoked by Scotian spray and brush mural artists.

I figured I had a handle on painting on boats now, somehow. Silly me! The waves were so big.
