Painting Inspiration: George's Island in Halifax Harbour is a landmark for all who live and visit here. The possibility of harbour porpoises swimming in the harbour years ago is not too far-fetched. They are often seen on whale watching trips just outside our now busy harbour.
At the heart of Halifax Harbour, the George’s Island Lighthouse has stood since 1876, its beam guiding ships safely through fog, tides, and storms. A sentinel of stone and steel, it represents safety, heritage, and the harbour’s enduring history.
Beneath its light, harbour porpoises slip quietly through the waves. Smaller than dolphins and often unseen, they are playful yet elusive guardians of the sea. Reminders that even the smallest creatures carry immense importance in the ocean’s balance.
Together, the lighthouse and the porpoises embody quiet resilience. One protects mariners above the water, the other thrives in the currents below. This painting captures the harmony of two guardians. Both overlooked, yet both essential to the soul of the harbour.
