West Coast Prints

Winter Reflections is an Art Print of A Westcoast Winter River Scene. This Old Wooden Fish Boat is Still Charming and One I Could Not Resist Illustrating. A Westcoast winter river scene, and This Vessel Seeps Charm and Nostalgia, Even on a Cold and Damp Winter’s Day; and it’s So Serene in its Rest. The Colour Palette is the Cloudy Greys and Mild Browns that So Well Represent This Time of Year. A Touch of Red Peeks Through from the Sailboat Moored Behind the Fishing Boat.

Massey Marine Shop is Seen If You Look North from Delta St. in Ladner Village, The Massey Marine Supply building, Greets You with its Wonderful Colours and History. Framed with the village trees in early Autumn colours in the foreground and the line of Poplars that line Harbour Park across the slough in the background. The colours are rich greens, pale yellows, with the spark of the red door of this historic building: a fixture in this little Westcoast town.

Blue Dodge Van by the Seven Seas Fish Co. Ltd. Art Print Ladner, British Columbia. Mountain Trips and Trips to Vancouver Island Started in Ricks Van. For many years, our friend Rick used to park his Blue Dodge Van outside the Seven Seas Fish Co. Ltd. along the river in Ladner, British Columbia when it wasn’t in use. This van was reserved for mountain ski trips and trips to Vancouver Island to visit Rick’s children. It was a beauty of a van! The Seven Seas Fish Co. Ltd. was demolished about 2 years ago to make way for some harbour beautification projects (that, to be honest, we’re still waiting for), and I haven’t seen Rick or his van since about then either. Metallic blues, sky blue, and the metal grey of the old fish processing building make up this colour palette.

Autumn Harvest at The Backroads Family Farm Market Art Print Situated on the Road Between Ladner and Tsawwassen, Certainly Does Autumn and Halloween Right! No detail forgotten, it’s so Fall Festive! These two towns in Delta on the Westcoast of BC are, first and foremost, farming communities. In the Fall, the fields teeming with pumpkins ready to harvest are an amazing sight.

This historic building is located on the corner of Elliott St. and River Road West, in Ladner, British Columbia. Originally, it was Jordan’s Stables, c. 1910, and served as a hay storage shed, and has been many things along the way. Most recently, it has been the home of West Coast Seeds. This old green sedan parked in front pays homage to the past on a cool, sunny winter day.

The heart of Ladner Village, Johnny’s Corner has a deep historical presence as well as serving as a modern hub of village activity. Named Johnny’s Corner after Johnny Lowe who opened Ladner Grocery in 1963. Stir Coffee House that is there now is owned by his son, Robert Lowe. My favourite part of this scene is wonderful aged Oak tree. I believe these sorts of gorgeous mature trees are worth so much to the world. They offer shelter for humans and small creatures alike. They are worth our respect and protection.

If you walk just past the RiverWest Condos along the River Road West upper pathway in the quaint farming and fishing village of Ladner on a sunny summer afternoon, this is the lovely view you will come across. We have affectionately named this place, the Dragonfly Lane. This illustration from 2020 is the first one I ever completed. From that time forward, I was hooked and have since finished at least 40 other illustrations of this place on the Westcoast of BC that I call home.

I 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.
