I am excited to share this painting with you all! I just delivered it to the owner this morning, so I can now post it here! It is always an honour to have someone commission a painting based on a special place. I do feel the added pressure (self-inflicted) to make sure that I do the location and the memory justice. But it’s often this added pressure which motivates me to grow as an artist!
The location for this painting is Crescent Beach in Surrey, B.C. I loved visiting the area and getting a feel for the landscape. It’s a peaceful place where you can walk along the water or just sit and relax (or in my case, sketch!). Being able to visit a particular location gives me a better connection to both the terrain and to the meaning behind the painting. It is my hope that this then translates into the finished piece.
