Capitol Hill Dawn

0.0 x 0.0

Capitol Hill Dawn - September, 2011 Acrylic on canvas, 60" x 48" Located at: Private Collection (SOLD) I'm an early riser and my favourite time is that calm period just after the sun rises. There's a stillness in the early morning and the optimism of a new day that still full of potential. Or maybe I've become misanthropic as I've gotten older, so I like the world best when there are fewer people awake in it. This painting shows a lovely late-spring morning when Burrard Inlet is calm - see, there's only one freighter waiting to load - and the commuters haven't started bustling yet. There's a green and yellow shade to the water from reflected sunlight and new growth. The distortion on the Ironworkers and train bridges are similar to my earlier, bluer version but I wanted to focus more that special luminescent morning light that the early riser Vancouverites are privileged to behold.
