A selection of old sold paintings on Vancouver themes
This one, of the Cambie Boulevard at Queen Elizabeth Park from about
2004, finally sold at the Petley-Jones show in 2022.
(These were all watercolours sold at Petley-Jones Gallery between about
1998–2001,
after which I stopped having shows of watercolours that weren't book
illustrations.
For more recent paintings, sold and unsold, refer to the artwork
index page.)

Rain Ending on False Creek Watercolour, 15 1/4" x 21 3/4" Summer 2000 From the edge of the dock at Granville Island, with Burrard Bridge framing the West End towers above Sunset Beach. The industrial False Creek of my boyhood, when the docks and floats were lined with fishboats and the odd shanty, has vanished, replaced with rows of ininteresting, gleaming white yachts and the occasional interesting old pleasure boat. SOLD |
From near the foot of Whyte Avenue on a cold April day, a line of trees follows the curve of the bay south towards the bathhouse. The two poles are for summer volleyball games; the trademark Vancouver beach logs are lined up on the raked beach awaiting the arrival of warm weather.
Storm Clouds (Figuratively Speaking) over Finn Slough Summer 2000 Watercolour 14" x 22" SOLD
The marvellously picturesque community of floathouses and shacks on a slough of the Fraser River near the foot of Number 4 Road in Richmond. A magnet for every painter who hears of it, with urgency added to the quest by the constant threats to the community's future.

Frontal System Arriving From the Northwest Spring 2000 Watercolour, 12" x 18" SOLD One does tend to get rather obsessed with weather and winter storms. Spanish Banks, looking past Point Atkinson with the profile of Bowen Island on the left. The clouds beginning to thicken and gather and the wind just starting to pick up across the water. Obviously the rain has already begun in Howe Sound.

Freighter in English Bay Spring 2000 SOLD More "freighter porn". I'm becoming addicted to these huge ships, unloaded and riding high on the swell, waiting patiently in English Bay for their turn at Vancouver's inefficient, union-dominated waterfront terminals. |
|
Yachty Confection 26 1/2" x 35 1/2" watercolour. 1998 SOLD One of the most recognizable scenes in Vancouver: the yacht basin in False Creek, looking toward Granville Island with Bridges Restaurant dominating the view, and Granville Bridge in the distance. |
|
Downtown Sidewalk Fall, 2000 SOLD Puddles, sidewalk, rain, umbrellas, reflections. |
Marine Crescent Spring 2000 SOLD Hard to tell on this little reproduction, but it was a successful effort to capture the misty light and mirror-sheened streets of Vancouver just at the point that a heavy rain stops. |
|
|
Terrace in the sunshine Summer 2000 SOLD The miscellany on the front terrace at the farmhouse, with the set of Adirondack chairs Christine picked up at a yard sale for $15 (that's for the set, not each). Anyway, this reproduction looks very washed out on my screen. |

Brenda's chimney Summer 2001 SOLD A friend's rather well-known Kitsilano garden |
