Welcome

Welcome to Joe Murphy's art.

I am Nova Scotian artist here on the Atlantic coast of Canada. Much of my art reflects my love for the beauty of this rugged, maritime province and of the people who live here.

Most of the art shown here has already been sold, donated or was commissioned. I would be happy to hear from anyone who likes my style of art and would like a piece of art created for your personal enjoyment or as a special gift for someone.

Paddle to the Sea - A small canoe paddle carved and painted in honour of the sixtieth anniversary of the book by Holling C. Holling.  Wood and acrylic



Clearing the Passage-  The eastern passage is the narrower, small craft entry into Halifax harbour in Nova Scotia.  This sloop, about 12m in length was hidden by a small knoll of beach grass and cried out to be painted.  Watercolour on 200 lb paper




Checking the Draw-  Some of the masters level paddlers at Banook Canoe Club, checking to see what races the coach has assigned them.  Acrylic on canvas
