This original painting of Newfoundland was inspired by a beautiful photo by Tom Cochrane. I follow his Instagram account for images of “the island” and in particular, the Gros Morne National Park, where I camped overnight with my husband (a million years ago). 
If you’ve never been to the Maritime provinces of Canada, you’re missing something special. Newfoundland, in particular, is unique with its rugged coastlines, fishing villages, whale watching, and vistas.
It’s made up of two 2 parts: Newfoundland, an island in the Atlantic Ocean; and Labrador on mainland Canada. The musical play, “Come From Away” takes place in Newfoundland during the 9-11 crisis when overseas flights were grounded in Gander for days.
