Beached (Brico) by Joan Larson
16″ x 22″ pastel illustration, framed.
$1980
The ship was a decommissioned cable laying vessel, it was beached near Fanny Bay, and operated as a restaurant for many years. A well photographed tourist attraction – it was broken up removed a few years ago.
This depiction of the ship brings back a lot of fond travel memories for a lot of people visiting the gallery. Stories of the Mill and the over the highway conveyor belt, the various out buildings and of course the Fanny Bay Oysters next door to the ship.
Anyone who has traveled the old highway up the inside of Vancouver Island surely remembers the Brico.
