Ideas & Art from Rob Elliott and Christine Cosby
I visited British Columbia in September for a kayak trip (plus some hiking). With my dad’s crew of octogenarian kayakers, we explored the rocky edges of the Deer Group (off the west coast of Vancouver Island). I also hiked up Seymour Mountain just north of Vancouver and kayaked in Deep Cove. When I wasn’t getting reacquainted with nature, I drew in my sketchbook. Here’s what I drew.
I flew to Vancouver to see my family for the first time in 20 months. This installment of My Pandemic Diary! is a bit of a travelogue. But the sketchbook also contains the usual nature observations, political grumblings, and COVID-19 shenanigans. Enjoy these 5 new pages!

I just received this parcel in the post, sure to delight any philatelist or ornithologist.
The army of ducklings also happens to be a great way of illustrating why I mostly show my work locally these days. Shipping is expensive, and if people don’t buy the work, doubly so. When Mark Pilon decided to test the art-buying waters by reopening his much-missed Moon Base gallery in Vancouver, I put a small piece into the group show. The Little Wraith did not find a buyer, which was unfortunate, as I was testing the waters too (My first shows were with Moon Base in 1998).
Here’s my wish list for artists working across this big country, a wish list that would make it easier for artists to show their work:
