Over drinks with our kayak guide Doug Taylor and his partner Penny, we mention the auction and our search. Doug and Penny say they just might have several of the mystery painter's works. He's a kayaker, they say. Isn't everybody? Unfortunately, there are no Brian Buckrells at the art auction. But that night, my ever-patient spouse finds Buckrell's website, we decide he's the one we're looking for, and we email to ask where we might find his work.
