Description
The mystical shores of coastal British Columbia hold boundless inspiration and an enigmatic spiritual presence for many who live along its various coves and inlets. For almost three decades, Carol Evans has been practicing and refining her art,creating stunning portrayals of the beautiful and rugged shores of Vancouver Island and the coastal mainland. Her intensity of colour and attention to the subtleties of light are trademarks of her increasingly popular watercolour paintings.
The Shores We Call Home contains over eighty of Evans' works, collected here in gorgeous full-colour reproductions that faithfully represent the startlingly vivid visions of the original watercolours, capturing the unique character of BC's exquisite shoreline landscape--a place like nowhere else on earth.

The Shores We Call Home: The Art of Carol Evans
This beautiful volume contains over 80 full-colour reproductions of Carol Evans’ detailed watercolour paintings of the BC coast. Evans captures perfectly the essence of the West Coast the light playing on water, sea mist, billowing clouds, craggy cliffs overhung with gnarled arbutus, secluded beaches and towering evergreens. In an educational setting, this book would be very useful to spark creative writing, student art work, Social Studies map work or observations about West Coast geography and plant and animal life.Source: The Association of Book Publishers of BC.
