This watercolour painting is of a steamboat arriving at Irvine's Landing in the 1940's and will be featured as the full-colour dust jacket on the upcoming book "Women of Pender Harbour, Their Voices, Their History". This book began with a dream of a few local women to honour the women pioneers of the Pender Harbour area and after nine years of volunteer work, conducting oral history interviews, gathering information and photographs, researching the area and then writing and compiling the book itself, the book will soon be published and available for all to enjoy. http://www.motokoart.com/news/index.php?action=view&nid=43 http://www.motokoart.com/news/index.php?action=view&nid=43 On Saturday, April 3, 2010 Motoko presented her painting Boat Day at 1940s Irvines Landing to Dorothy Faulkner of the Archive Legacy Committee.
