Reef Netters, Hauling Fish, Third Panel

5 x 5' panel, working from old photo reference here in the San Juans, reef netting. My brothers spent their summers on Stuart Island reef netting.

Preparing Panels and getting started.

First Panel Done, Waiting to Set on the Margaret J

First completed panel, 13 more to go. 5' x 4' one of the smaller panels.

Panels arrive on the island

Within 24 hours of ordering the panels are sitting in my studio. Imagine if all things could move that quickly! Starting to prep.

Getting my overall design figured out.

This doesn't look like much, figuring out my overall mural design, using small paper versions of the images, basically to scale, moving things around. It's much easier to do it on a small scale with pieces of paper, than with giant panels. The panels are ordered, may be arriving this week.

Town Council Approves Plan for Mural

Panel ideas developed from a historic 1920's seine photo, old style large crew and side roller and our lighthouse at Lime Kiln Point.
