Haida Design carving, Campbell River BC, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper
Haida Design Shoreline Carving, Campbell River BC, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. There are so many beautiful sculptures along the shore here, but no information online about this wood carving. Every summer Campbell River hosts a chainsaw carving competition, so I assume this is one of the pieces created during one of those events.
