"That Way!"
Title: "That Way!"
by Jay Koka, © 2024
34"w x 44", acrylic on canvas, with the studio
This new original work features a classic 1940 19' Chris Craft Barrelback Runabout in a somewhat exciting moment. The steamship passengers watch on with great interest to see what route she will take...
The setting is the Gravenhurst Ontario harbor with one of its iconic steamships... the 130 year old historic steamship R.M.S. Segwun. Built in 1887, Segwun is North America's oldest operating steamship and was originally designated a Royal Mail Ship.
This painting was originally scheduled to premiere at the ACBS boat show in Gravenhurst in early July 2024. The premiere has been pushed forward to 2025. To be published as a full size canvas print.
Gravenhurst 2025
Title: "Gravenhurst 2025"
by Jay Koka, © 2024
34"w x 44" (85x110cm), acrylic on canvas, with the studio
This major new work features the 23 foot 1936 Port Carling Boat Works Ltd classic and in the background, a 15 foot 1958 Glastron Fireflite 3. The setting is the harbor at Gravenhurst.
This painting was originally conceived as the poster art for the 2024 ACBS Annual Boat Show. Construction in and around the Gravenhurst harbor area forced a cancellation of the '24 event. It is scheduled to return in 2025.
The painting will premiere at the ACBS boat show in Gravenhurst in early July '25. To be published as a full size canvas print in 2025.
Little Venice
Title: "Little Venice"
by Jay Koka, © 2024
20”w x 24” (50x60cm), acrylic on canvas, with the studio
This new original work features the barques of "Little Venice" in Comar, France. Ever on the lookout for the next painting, Jay Koka came across this wonderful location on a recent visit to the town.
Known for its network of canals and bridge, medieval Comar is located near the border with Germany. The waterways are filled with half-timbered houses in pastel colors while the town center features cobblestones and traditional architecture. Not published.
