"There is no such thing as a fearless warrior or a dread-free artist."
Steven Pressfield (The War of Art)
An entry from my portrait journal for IF's 'fearless'. I've always been fascinated with surreal artwork and actually any art that at first glance doesn't make any sense to me. Yet when I try to create a piece like that myself, logic always seems to get in the way. This was definitely a step forward for me as far as being 'fearless' and finishing a piece even when the elements don't 'go together', at least not in my mind.
I've been studying song birds recently and as I flipped through my book, a page opened to the American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos)...

This is an entry for ABS Forever's These Go to Eleven Contest on MOCpages.
We were asked to build a MOC centered on a short quote.

Picton Harbour, Marlborough
Sadly, since this pic was taken, Picton has farewelled the hull of the scow Echo, which had sat aground in the marina since 1972...
One of New Zealand's larger two-mast scows, she was also one of the first to have an engine installed. Of shallow draught to allow entry to shallow harbours and rivers, she had large centreboards which could be lowered in lieu of a keel.
1905: Built in Dargaville of Northland kauri, she traded for the Karamea Steam Ship Co., working the Kaipara timber trade and shipping coal around coastal NZ.
1916: She was bought by Richardson's of Napier for the meat trade from Wairoa.
1920: Bought by Charles Ekford and her 45 years based at Blenheim began.
From her new home port she plied Cook Strait carrying goods to and from Wellington, making her way up the Opawa River to the township, only very occasionally being diverted to Picton when the Wairau Bar was closed. Crossing Cook Strait approximately 15,000 times, Echo carried any and every sort of cargo, including Ford cars and tractors on top of the cargo hatches.
Echo served in the Pacific during WWII for 18 months until 1944: the US Military had requisitioned her, reportedly to spy on the Japanese. She rescued many downed US aircrews and carried Allied troops, and is thought to have helped track down two Japanese submarines. A Hollywood comedy "The Wackiest Ship in the Army" – starring Jack Lemon and Ricky Nelson – was based on her adventures during this time.
The Echo remained in service for Eckfords until the Wellington-Picton ferry service began in the mid 1960s. After a time sitting aground, she was floated around to Picton. There, her hull was filled with concrete, initially for use as clubrooms for the Marlborough Cruising Club, until she was converted to a privately-owned restaurant/museum. Following a change of ownership of the restaurant early in 2012, increasing dilapidation, maintenance and consenting issues led eventually to the sale of the hulk to Port Marlborough in Sept.2014.
Sadly, engineering and shipwright’s surveys of the vessel confirmed the structure had deteriorated beyond recovery. Salvaged parts of the Echo would be curated through the Marlborough Museum and Brayshaw Park, and a memorial site to the Echo established near her old berth on the Opawa River in Blenheim.
=======================
About 130 scows used to ply New Zealand's waters, mostly as transport 'workhorses'. Now the Jane Gifford (c.1908), based in Warkworth, is the country's last remaining rigged sailing scow...
Spikes and rocks.
