"...to capture just how it feels to be in a canoe and confronting heavy surf pounding a very rugged shore. It is both an awe-inspiring and fearful sight. I can't turn back but most keep going until I find a protective cove..." Bill Mason, Canoescapes
 
SOME WORKS are titled by artist Bill Mason, some are signed, some are not. The paintings have been sized in centimetres, height by width using the optimal framing window. 
 
FOR CATALOGUE PURPOSES when lacking a title they have been assigned a title by the family with the area/subject matter that inspired Bill Mason.
 
THE QUOTES for the paintings are taken from Canoescapes which was written by Bill in 1988 and posthumously published in 1995.
 
EACH PAINTING comes with a letter of authenticity from the Mason family.
