Poppies Dory Original – Sold

This original acrylic painting features a traditional green dory overflowing with vibrant red poppies beneath a brilliant blue sky. The striking contrast between the vivid flowers, colourful boat, and open sky creates a joyful composition that celebrates both Newfoundland’s maritime heritage and the beauty of nature. Rich colours, expressive brushwork, and layered textures bring warmth and energy to the artwork, transforming a familiar coastal scene into a cheerful celebration of life and renewal. Titled “Poppies Dory,” this print captures the enduring charm of Newfoundland’s iconic dories while adding a vibrant floral twist that fills the scene with colour, hope, and timeless appeal.

My family, like many around the world have lost a loved one to armed conflict. Poppies  are widely used as emblems of remembrance and to pay respect to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. In maritime history, the dory represents resilience, grit and survival and the combination of the two pays respect to all those that allow me to have the freedoms I enjoy.
