QUEEN CHARLOTTE HARBOUR

Original Pencil drawing by Gary Sim issued May 2013

This is a low resolution digital photograph of a large format pencil drawing. The drawing is based on a digital photograph of Queen Charlotte Harbour, Haida Gwaii, taken on October 27, 2012. I was visiting Masset for a field review and extended my stay so that I could explore the north island a little. The harbour had the most diverse assortment of vessels tied up in the rain, it was quite fun drawing all of them. I think there are 21 in the drawing. The drawing is archivally matted in Crescent 1607 4-ply matte, in an OPUS metal exhibition frame. The image is drawn in HB pencil on a 20" by 26" sheet of BFK Rives 185gsm paper from France.
