Seven Seas, Slough Side
$115.00 – $497.00West Coast PrintsCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear16x2424x36When I first illustrated this Ladner River Scene of the Seven Seas Fish Co. Ltd., Seven Seas, Sloughside, in 2021 this is what I said: “This is the slough side perspective of the old Seven Seas Cannery. It is almost becoming an eyesore in our little harbour; complete with rust and graffiti, there is is still something almost graceful and charming about its current state of dishevelment. The layers of all the years are so obvious yet appealing somehow?” 2 years ago, in 2022, this building was demolished to make room for some new riverside development still in the works.

Shades of Blue
$47.00 – $247.00West Coast PrintsCanvas 1.5-inch Gallery WrapFine Art Paper Print OnlyClear12x1218x18I have heard that this sail boat, the Shades of Blue, moored at the RiverWest Marina, has sailed around the world more than a few times. I loved the deep royal blue of the tarp and the deep orange of the life ring juxtaposed with the grunge browns of the mildly dilapidated docks. And, of course, there is the gull, just hanging out.

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.

Sunflower Lane

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.
