Whytecliff Park in West Vancouver is home to a most photographed tiny island, Whyte Islet.  This was a very special commission piece done for a a very thoughtful fellow who had a plan to propose to his girlfriend  in the park in front of Whyte islet.  As part of his plan he wanted a painting to remind them of the memorable moment.  I had not met him, we had only communicated via email so the day arrived and I headed out to the park with the painting under my arm looking for the likely couple and when I got down to the beach, in the distance, I saw a fellow get down on one knee in front of his girlfriend.  What a magical moment!  A few minutes later they were coming along the beach and I congratulated them.  With big small on his face and a happy tear in her eye, I introduced myself and I handed them the painting.  A memorable day for all!
