                An Up-welling Sea

      Acrylic on Canvas                  24 x 30
                   Price     $2880.00
   
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.

            Wind Against Tide, Queen Charlotte Strait

         Acrylic on Canvas                         20 x 24
                  
     Price     $1495.00   Framed $1695.00           

    Years ago on our first trip across Queen Charlotte Strait
    from McNeill to home in Al's fishing boat, "Miss Jenny"
    we crossed Queen Charlotte Strait as the sun was
    setting; the bar of light got hotter and brighter as the
    storm clouds built from the flat base above the sea.
    Tide ebbing from Knight Inlet against an afternoon
    northwesterly built pyramidal wave sequences that
    bludgeoned the stern quarter. A rough ride but an 
    exciting landscape, so much so that I painted it from
    memory the next day.

    I chose this piece for the cover art of 'Murder Rides a
     Gale Force Wind because of the ominous feeling it
      engendered.

   Since 1972 I have been making the journey to the western shore of Vancouver Island, responding to the call of the sea., absorbing the swell and flow of the eternal ocean and gathering imagery for a suite of paintings expressing the deep pull  exerted on us by it's constancy and mutability.

                        "Gone Surfing"

       Original Acrylic on Canvas Painting
 
  
Morning mist and sunbeams illuminate
   a solitary bicycle in the bike rack at the
   pathway to Chesterman Beach on BC's
   wild west coast. It's easy to imagine
   the sleeping lover in the warm bed
   while the surfer arises to catch the
   morning break.

       “View From the Wild Pacific Trail”
         Original Acrylic on Canvas

   



Ucluelet lies at the southern tip of the road running north to Tofino. The community has created a fabulous trail along that challenging coast to give people a place to observe 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.

     Available as an art card, black matted print or placemat.

 “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.

                                                              Home of the Harlequin Ducks
This original acrylic painting needed to be larger on the screen so you could see the Harlequin Ducks; they are the surprise, and distinguished easily after a moment of contemplation. Coastal trees cling to almost bare rocks with a million fine roots, absorbing moisture from the atmosphere. I often wonder how much time people actually have or give themselves to be with a painting, a large, vital energetic image which someone has created with hand, eye, brush and paint, brain, emotion and wonder. There is so much more to the narrative than the first glance allows, when you take time to let it in.

                                      "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.

Hiding in the Eel Grass
An eel grass bed is home to numerous tiny creatures, many of whom bring a sparkle to the greens with their bright reds, pinks and purples. This 14 x 18 canvas shows the swirling movement the tide brings to the long ribbons of grass. A person can get lost in contemplation of the ever-changing patterns.

The Whale's Tail....


 I love the perfection of the curves of the orca's tail, seen from any angle they are mathematically exquisite. The halo of glowing moisture surrounds and delineates the deep dive of this Biggs (aka Transient) killer whale

Archival Image - Trip to the City


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 father in the wheelhouse is obscured, reflecting his discomfort in clothing not suited for the work the boat is. Echo Bay Hotel can be seen in the distance.

Size 14 x 18     SOLD  



           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 $7.00 each and art prints, with black mat, backing and cello slip package, $50.00. Contact me..
