An oil painting based on a small island off the dock of our cottage in Quebec has caught the attention of a collector in Edmonton. “Snake Island” was sold and shipped to Alberta, Canada, by the Annexe Gallery (Ottawa Art Gallery). I named the painting because my three young grandsons discovered water snakes basking in the sun on the rocky little island and named it after their exciting discovery.

Juliana McDonald, “Snake Island”, 2022, oil paint on canvas, 48 x 36 inches.
