View from San Juan Islands II is one of the more successful paintings included in the final installment in my "homage to Hokusai" series. The Japanese artist Hokusai 's best known work is the wood block print series Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji. l have now made over 80 paintings of Mount Baker or more appropriately Qwú’mə Kwəlshéːn or Koma Kulsan - "white sentinel."
The painting represents the view of Baker, at sunset , from the east side of Orca island , with several small islands offshore - islands which I should confess have been moved from offshore of Ucluelet , BC. –Artist statement
