About "Schooner Sails Ablaze"
The abstract coastal art painting "Schooner Sails Ablaze" by Nova Scotia artist Catherine McKinnon is a semi abstract representation of the beauty and danger of the sea.
The coastal wall art depicts a schooner, a type of sailing vessel commonly used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with its sails seemingly on fire. However, more likely, the sails are reflecting a fiery sunset in an abstract, figurative way.
The scene is both dramatic and captivating, with the fiery red and orange tones of the flames contrasting against the cool blues and greens of the sea and sky.
Schooner History and Tribute
The abstract coastal art also conveys a sense of history and nostalgia. The schooner was once a common sight along the coast of Nova Scotia, used for fishing and trade. Today, however, these vessels are a rare sight, and many have been lost to the sea. McKinnon's painting serves as a tribute to these vintage vessels and the people who relied on them for their livelihoods.
