Harbour Centre, Old Vancouver

This painting was the first I did in sepia tones to get the affect of an old photograph.  The subjects for the work are the images of the newish Harbour Centre Tower in Vancouver with a scene from the late 1800's Gastown in the foreground. I have experimented with this "sepia" technique with good success and am now almost exclusively working on canvases primed with black gesso.  I still haven't really defined my style as a painter but I am getting closer to a look that will be distinctly mine.  This painting was one of the largest I've completed..18x36..on stretched canvas.  You can see it at the London Farm Art Show.
