About The Artwork
The source photo I used was taken about 25-30 years ago, and the Rowing Club today is not a reddish brown anymore. Today, the building is very dark brown with white accents. I thought about being anachronistic but then figured it's just too recognizable a building, so I better update it. Thing is, the reddish brown made for a better, more colorful composition. So I guess I kind of kept it, now that I look at it, though I was planning to update it. The picture I had in my head just did not want the building to be a dark chocolate brown. It also wanted to be filled with bright 1980's style boats, so I left those, too, including the colorful tarps. They are much brighter than the bland white ones that park there today. The only message about this painting, if there is one, is this is a place where people have celebrations: they get married, they have anniversary parties, they celebrate life here. The clouds look like balloons, the trees look like birthday candles, and the boats and water have all sorts of confetti color in them. It's just happy, that's all.

I am a Vancouver artist. My work is inspired by Saturday morning cartoons as much as it is by the city in which I live. As an avid runner and cyclist, I want to portray the feeling one might have when moving through a scene. Certain landmarks hang in your head and then you see another point of interest; in your mind, it all seems closer together and brighter because of endorphins, fresh air, and good weather. Sometimes there are days when the ordinary becomes absolutely beautiful due to whatever effects of light or season or one's own mood. My stylized distortion of architecture often represents the people who inhabit the buildings and neighbourhood scenes. The vivid colours and implied instability create a whimsical and cheerful view of the city. There is so much joy and motion around us. My hope is that those who like my work get a jolt of vital familiarity.
