A selection of watercolors by Lina Tharsing painted over the last few weeks on Rous Island in Nova Scotia, Canada. In her words: I have been fortunate to spend a few weeks most summers since I was little on a small island in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia in a cabin my parents built. The island has no roads, no stores, and hardly even a human made path to walk down so I get to fully immerse myself in nature. I feel that I know this one place as intimately as I would a dear friend. I watch as the island transforms itself and is transformed by storms and a changing ocean. Spruce budworm wiped out whole acres of trees which turned them into silvery statues before they disintegrated into dirt. Raspberries and alder grew out of the dead trees and then new spruce filled in and an ocean of ferns spread out between them. The two meadows that the two oldest houses sit on are now overgrown with bay bushes, thistles and wild apple trees. The water moves rock, leaving some beaches sandy one year and covered in stones the next. There is so much constantly shifting, changing, turning over, dying and coming into being.
