Last Glance, The Seven Seas Fish Company
$95.00 – $455.00West Coast PrintsCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear16x2024x30Last Glance, The Seven Seas Fish Company, a building I walk past, that is still standing, on the corner of Chisholm and Georgia streets almost every day with my dog Wink. In the late fall of 2021, I captured some amazing images of the reflection of the abandoned Seven Seas Fish Co. Ltd. cannery in its window. The very next day, the window had been broken, and just days after that, the neighbourhood news was that the city was going to demolish the cannery. While I love the texture of peeling paint, the light of a sunny fall morning and the reflections cast in this one, I think I love the story more – capturing a singular moment in time that will never again occur.

She’s Seen Better Days
$95.00 – $455.00West Coast PrintsCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear16x2024x30She’s Seen Better Days, just along the path past the RiverWest Marina and condominium complex, the Silver Challenger rested, dry-docked in an old lot for many years. She had once been a proud and mighty fishing boat on the BC coast. This was, I believe, the first boat I ever illustrated, and so many more have followed. My style has evolved and developed, but, still, this subject really does appeal to my particular aesthetic sensibilities; grungy, rusty, abandoned, slightly off-kilter, but, oh, so interestingly rich with texture and colour.

The Phaedra, In-Between
$95.00 – $455.00West Coast PrintsCanvas 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.

The Breadbasket at Twilight
$95.00 – $455.00West Coast PrintsCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear16x2024x30The Breadbasket at Twilight, was a charmer belonging to our friend Jerry. It was a 1946 converted BC Ferry Double-Ender lifeboat that he purchased in Victoria, British Columbia and motored over to Ladner. The breadbasket was moored outside of Speed’s Pub in Ladner one evening and my son took photos of it resulting in this illustration. The soft light in the cabin and in the Wharfinger House windows in background against somewhat stormy skies set a foreboding, yet serene scene. The Breadbasket itself unfortunately sank about a year after I completed this piece.
