Beached and Abandoned

14" x 18" oil on canvas
This tug was built in 1941 for the US Navy. After the war it was sold to a BC Logging co. and evebtually to a private individual who didn't understand about maintenance, so he abandoned it. It was burned to the waterline and I feel fortunate I was able to capture her on canvas first.
framed in beautiful weathered paint effect. Outside dimensions 22" x 26"

Ron Stacy’s involvement with art has been a life-long dedication. In 1987, on Vancouver Island, surrounded by the art of the northwest coast natives, he began to paint his impressions of this magic artform and sophisticated culture. His unique treatment of this subject has brought him both accolades and censure.
Ron's evolution has led him to explore the essential character of the west coast; in a series he calls the 'Old Salts' and his new series called 'Contemporary West Coast'.
You will also be delighted with Ron's explorations in 'Still Life' and his lovely, flowing wood carvings.
