L'Ile Verte
16 × 24, Oil on gallery wrapped canvas
I grew up in a very small town—an island on an island on an island. Off the coast of Cape Breton, you'll find a little place called Isle Madame. It's a stunning corner of the world, shaped by the sea.
If you drive to the very end of the very last island, you'll see yet another tiny island in the distance. Reaching it isn't easy. The only way there is by boat, and only if you know someone willing to take you. The waters are exposed, dotted with shallow, rocky stretches that can be treacherous if you don't know the route. You have to know where you're going.
From across the water, you can still make out the lighthouse standing watch over the shoreline. And if you're fortunate enough to get closer, you'll discover the remnants of an old homestead—a reminder of the people who once called that remote place home.
If you’re from Isle Madame, you know.
