Located right under the Granville Street Bridge, Granville Island is a unique place that is home to the Federation of Canadian Artists Gallery as well as artist’s studios. Aa well there is a wonderful market, restaurants, many shops and water activities. A great place to visit!
I was on a boat when I took the photo as the sun was heading towards the horizon. The pink colours of the beautiful sky reflecting in the water made for a inspiration starting point for a painting!
I painted this piece plein air on a lovely day in Stanley Park when the tennis courts were in full action. The building in the background is the Stanley Park Brewing Restaurant.
The colours are so very different with every sunset! This makes them all uniquely beautiful! I fell in love with the softer colours of this particular evening!
I had fun painting this smaller version of a larger painting I did. I was very pleased with the result, it turned out great and translated very well into a smaller painting!
As the sun is headed towards the western horizon, the colours in the sky and in the purple clouds are absolutely amazing! This was painted from a photo I took at Pettinger Point in Tofino BC.
Within Botany Bay there lives a wonderful little sea stack that is such a beautiful example of the west coast scenery. It is a fun one to paint! Botany Bay is in Botanical Beach Provincial Park.
Many of the streets in Vancouver are lined with Cherry Blossom trees and in the spring a vision of pink is a beautiful sight.
The little islet off Whytecliff Park is accessible at low tide as an arc of rocks are exposed leading right to the islet. At high tide the little islet is again surrounded by the sea.
The light coming through the trees created a wonderful tapestry of colour on the forest floor.
