Throughout the Northwest Coast of British Columbia you will find many narrow passages and dangerous rocks. That is the work area for tugboats. Even when the coast is surrounded in mist and fog, the tugs have to keep working, relying on the crew to see them safely through. Motoko has dedicated this painting to those who operate working boats, for their tremendous courage and skill that is needed to get through their daily lives. ”MORNING MIST”...a tribute.
