Acrylic Paintings for Sale, BC Coast
An Up-welling Sea
Acrylic on Canvas 24 x 30
Price $2875.00
From time to time, in an otherworldly state, I imagine the fantastical glitter of bejeweled bubbles of coloured light and the swirl of turquoise, teal and sea greens. The painting begins simply with the brush and the freshly squeezed pigment on the palette and develops in subsequent painting sessions. This kind of painting, which starts with “what the hand, brush and paint might do’, often grows into something extraordinarily dreamy and suggestive.

“Rowboat in Brentwood Bay”
Original Acrylic on Canvas
This little boat caught my eye as I strolled the dock in Brentwood Bay, soon I was seeing little rowboats everywhere. With their lovely lines and beautiful curves the shape of a rowboat is an enduringly classic form . It offers a person the promise of a journey without the need for external power sources, simply the power of one’s own arms and back.

“View From the Wild Pacific Trail”
Original Acrylic on Canvas
Ucluelet lies at the southern tip of the road which runs north to Tofino. The community has created a fabulous trail along that challenging coast to give people a place to see the unceasing movement of the ocean and to get up close and personal with it’s refreshing vigour. This view faces the Broken Group on a sunny, windy day; a half turn brings the old Amphitrite Lighthouse into view.

“Beach Walk at Sundown”
Original Acrylic on Canvas
Whether we have ever actually walked a beach at
sundown with a friend, or only have that image in our
minds through film, tv or a book, the feelings of
contentment, safety, and freedom from stress are
universal. BC’s western shore is a global treasure that
millions seek each year. Even a painting such as this
can bring us to that moment and trigger a healing
cascade of brain chemicals.

“Where Live the Osprey”
Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas by Yvonne Maximchuk
Somewhat uncommon residents of the coastal habitat, a pair of osprey have built a lichen-hung nest in a nearby lagoon. This bird resides on the nest while its mate fishes nearby. Their breeding success will increase the local osprey population and I am happy to have this neighbour pair to keep an eye on.

"Outrunning the Purple Fog"
Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas by Yvonne Maximchuk
Life in a boat access only community can often challenges our skills and abilities to read and respond to weather events which may be beautiful and yet incredibly stressful. This late afternoon we had crossed Queen Charlotte Strait with fog pursuing us all the way. Almost home, I watched with glee as the amazing purple fog rolled out of Shoal Harbour, obscuring in seconds the passage we had just traversed.

Archival Image - Swimming in Echo Bay
Another in the series of archival images, these two girls are making the most of their freedom from the constraints of life on the float. The ever-present life jacket must have been so ill-fitting and clumsy yet the fun of water warm enough to splash around in remains the same through the ages

in this 1930's image, the family is ready to go, ready for the city in their best clothes, suitcase on the deck and dolly in the arms of the child.

The goblet paintings were all inspired by the Bavarian cut crystal glasses into which I pour the wine that I
drink. As I sit on our sunlit deck contemplating the passing change of cloud and wind-riffled sea, I note
the bubbles in the golden wine, the refraction of light in the stem of the glass, the reversed reflection in the curve of the cup....somehow these lovely works of art by the hand of an unknown artisan, fitting so perfectly into my hand, as I raise the glass, and as I raise my eyes...the scene comes together, like music..a variety of color chords and intervals...the view, the glass, the wine, blessed life....I am gratitude
These images are available as art cards, for $5.50 each and art prints, with black mat, backing and cello slip package, $45.00. Contact me..
