Belted Kingfisher Looks On features one of our favourite winged river dwellers, the Belted Kingfisher, perched on a piling near a patch of Black Eyed Susans, watching its beloved river territory just across from the wharfs of Harbourside in Ladner, British Columbia. A colour palette of turquoise, yellow and fishing boat off-whites create the warmth of a sunny summer day, enjoyed along the banks of the South Arm of the Fraser River.

Gourdeous

These gourds and all their varieties and fascinating shapes certainly tickled my fancy. I couldn’t resist illustrating them. While there are many different gourds, in array of colours, I was drawn to all the shades of vibrant green in this grouping.

Depicted here is the iconic Westham Island Bridge and a rustic red barn in the background situated on the highly productive agricultural lands of Westham Island, in Delta, British Columbia.
Starfish Motel
$95.00 – $455.00FeaturedCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear16x2024x30This is my last of four illustrations in the Roadside Motel series, I worked on in 2021/2022. As a fan of road trips, and during the Covid pandemic when we couldn’t travel, I set myself the task of creating a series of imagined quirky motels that were each based on a chosen colour. This is the Starfish Motel. It’s a little festive and a little bit tropical, and there’s a pool, but also the beach is just a hop, skip and a jump away. Please enjoy, and stay awhile, all your worries will wash away. Oh, and the margaritas are always on the house!
Sun Soaked Steveston Wharf
$47.00 – $247.00FeaturedCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear12x1218x18A wonderful sunny (sun soaked) summer afternoon on Steveston Wharf in Richmond, British Columbia. This is a busy, colourful working dock scene typical of the Westcoast along the South Arm of the Fraser River. The yellow hull of the fishing boat in foreground is framed by the sky blue and silvers of background fishing boats and the pale browns of the weathered docks.
Sunflower Lane
$47.00 – $247.00FeaturedCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear12x1218x18The Westham Island Herb Farm on Westham Island in Ladner, British Columbia, is such a wondrous place to visit in the summer and fall. Offerings include all the local seasonal produce, cutting flowers and local artisanal products. Owner Sharon Ellis has an eye for detail, creating layers of colour and interest for all visitors. One of the highlights is the Sunflower Lane. Many varieties of sunflowers are available there. I couldn’t resist illustrating these beauties last summer (2023) in all their glory.
The Phaedra, In-Between
$95.00 – $455.00FeaturedCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear16x2024x30All lined up and ready for the wrecking yard! I didn’t know it at the time (this seems to be a theme for me). This was illustrated from a series of images I captured at the Captain’s Cove Marina in Ladner, British Columbia. I can imagine the days past where these were rough and tumble fishing boats, working along the Fraser River, where the fish were in abundance and fishing for a living was a lucrative business. The colour palette is rust, orange, cream and sky blue.
Wharfinger Shed Harbourside
$47.00 – $247.00FeaturedCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear12x1218x18In Harbour Park, across the Chilcotin Slough from Ladner the Wharfinger House is quite the landmark. Behind this house is Wharfinger Shed in the same brilliant red as the house. I love this slightly messy summer scene with potted flowers, wheelbarrow, and white picket fence complete with marine life ring. The boat harbour that the Wharfinger resides over is in the background. Red, green, and white make up this summer day palette.
