Thank you for your interesting commentary--here in Florida we have a similar situation for local individuals who fish for a living. The large concerns are taking over. However, all of us as consumers contribute to that change--it's a conundrum.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11588695586677501283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094257402135517273.post-56480301583743753722010-05-06T14:16:29.762+02:002010-05-06T14:16:29.762+02:00Hi Liz, so right!How often have I wished for a not...Hi Liz, so right!How often have I wished for a notebook to take down some sayings!

We have the issue of overfishing here, too. People do not seem to understand that there has to be restrictions or there will be no more fish, the big boats/companies get to fish more (and they employ more, true) but its hard not to feel for the average guy just trying to do it on their own.<br />Love the paintings, keep doing boats!Kelley Carey MacDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14667693715096070393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094257402135517273.post-36550447271566290542010-05-04T16:58:42.829+02:002010-05-04T16:58:42.829+02:00I looked at the photo you included of Paternoster....I looked at the photo you included of Paternoster. What a gorgeous birds eye view, and such beautiful beaches. I can see why locals would be loathe to leave and change lifestyles. As previous comments suggested, this is a problem in other areas. Our east coaster fisherman have the same problem and often end up going out west to work in the oil business.<br />I agree, there is no such thing as too many boat pictures. I love the composition of this one, the bright colors and the view in the distance.<br />(I answered your questions re:Yonge Street on my blog.

I love seeing things through your artist eyes- a boat is not a boat anymore, neither is it just a small town. There is a story and you do a beautiful job of telling it with your paintbrush and pen (okay- computer) : )Helen Reynekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152082094066241630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094257402135517273.post-75368816224570163452010-05-03T14:14:53.392+02:002010-05-03T14:14:53.392+02:00Nice indeed.

To see the more natural ways of yesterday slip away is such a supreme loss in so many ways. I love the painting, but then that is per usual when it comes to your work, Marie.

May the West Coast prosper one day without giving up its atmosphere! About boats....thank you, I keep noticing them. They always seem to be oranje-blanje-blou in colour, while photos we have from Marrakech show all blue boats and from Tangier, very colourful oriental shades....another day, another story!Marie Theronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873852756825147600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094257402135517273.post-37384356295676712602010-05-03T05:22:31.727+02:002010-05-03T05:22:31.727+02:00Not too many boats Marie, love this!

It's definitely a dilemma the fisherman are facing and it's sad that age old traditions could die out as they integrate into the tourism industry. But change is all around us and thank heavens you are capturing these images for posterity.Maree Clarksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16274329795088706720noreply@blogger.com
