Description

When I first arrived to the small town of Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, I was surprised how popular surfing was here. I was aware that people did surf off the beaches around Tofino but there was a surf culture that you would think only exists in California or Hawaii, to name a couple. It was fun to be around. It reminded me of how die-hard skiers and snowboarders feel in the fact that everything they did was about surfing. They only worked and slept so they could surf. So, with all the surfing going on there were a lot of surf shops. The Long Beach Surf Company being one of them. The sign and tropical looking plants reminded me of something you might see in Hawaii, not in the Great White North of Canada.

I offer a variety of landscape, nature and wildlife images and fine art digital paintings. I also have many agricultural, farming and countryside images as well. Most of my work is from around the Pacfic Northwest, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, British Columbia, and Alberta. Please look through my galleries or visit my website to view my full portfolio.

All of my work is origiinal and copywrited. The watermarks will not be on your final print. Thank you for looking and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
