international

15 June 2021 to 30 June 2022

The Canadian Society of Marine Artists collaborated with The American Society of Marine Artists, the Australian Society of Marine Artists, les Peintres Officiels de la Marine and the Royal Society of Marine Artists to produce First International Online Marine Art Exhibition.

Our signature members who participated were John M. Horton, Ray Warren, Yves Bérubé, Peter Rindlisbacher, Alan Nakano, Stefan Starenkyj, Jean Leroux, Wesley Lowe, Pim Sekeris, and George Wilkinson

A Catalogue of the 1st International Online Marine Art Exhibition was published "on demand" and may still be available. It gave the background of the one hundred and fifty artists – and their works – from the five major societies of marine artists worldwide. The following represents the contribution by the Canadian Society of Marine Artists.

Yves Bérubé CSMA

wake of hope
Lightship No. 4, oil on board, 15 x 21 in (38 x 54 cm)

C.G. Lurcher, Lightship No. 4, stationed at Lurcher Shoal, Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, was the last of her kind in Canada. A point of land did not exist to support a lighthouse so a vessel with a light was moored near the shoal to assist with the safe passing of vessels. This painting depicts a National Sea trawler wrestling heavy seas while heading to a safe port at Yarmouth. Her search light illuminates as she embraces the safety imparted by the glow of the guiding light of Lurcher. Courageous were the crew aboard these stationary ships, whose duty was to face down many a storm while assisting ships to safe ports. This painting captures an era of heroic men on unruly seas.

John M. Horton CSMA
