I have always been interested in lineage, family trees, and the like. These seven oil paintings from almost 20 years ago on plywood, measuring ~ 24" x 36" each, represent 7 generations of my family:
- William Davis who would maybe have sailed by Durdle Door soon after leaving England for the last time, on his way to make a new life on Pinchard's Island in Newfoundland.
- George Davis, who left Pinchard's Island for nearby Pound Cove
- James Davis
- Levi Davis
- Augustus Davis who lived in Wesleyville, and then Brookfield
- Bruce Davis, my dad, with the islands around the reach in Wesleyville where he grew up
- and me, with the view from my house & studio: Bennett's High Island in the background.
