Bermuda Ferry Crossing Seascape Oil by Phyllis O'Shields artist contemporary impressionism



Bermuda Ferry Crossing Foggy Morning
Oil  24 x 30 inches on canvas
Seascape a very foggy morning with rough water
Phyllis O'Shields Artist Contemporary Impressionism

This painting was stared en plein air on a ferry ride crossing  in Bermuda.
I left from St Georges, Bermuda where I stay every year in a beautiful villla.
Every year a few weeks are spent painting in Bermuda.
A great day is always spent loading the moped onto the ferry along with the painting supplies and a picnic lunch.

The Sea Express ferry service is operated by the Bermuda Government's Department of Marine and Ports. Phone 295-4506. These relaxed sea routes are unequalled, a superb sea or harbor crossing in unrivalled scenery, much better than going by bus on overcrowded and perpetually noisy roads.
 They are far more ecological than a bus, with daily or weekly or monthly passes included in the same price as the buses, and far less expensive than a taxi. The only extra charge is for cycles or mopeds. All places to stay, cruise ships and the ferry terminal have copies of the ferry timetable at no charge.
 
Unlike the buses, ferries to and from Dockyard and St. George's (see below) can take wheelchairs for the disabled. The Paget to Warwick ferry will take the walking disabled. They also take cycles or mopeds. 
From Hamilton, they serve Paget, Warwick, Somerset and Dockyard on a varied daily basis (see timetable) and St. George's on Wednesdays and Thursdays from April 18 through November 2 only). They do not operate when the weather is too windy.

My inspiration for this series of Bahamas Paintings is the beautiful clear water, the delicate colours of water and sky, the absolute pristine surroundings. I feel total peace and contentment in the Bahamas. I lived on Andros and Freeport Island for many years.  Each year I return to the out islands and hold workshops painting en plein air.  Please email me if you wish to be on a list of students who will attend. 
www.Bahamas.com is a wonderful site to explore the islands and see the beautiful blue waters.
