Acrylic Paintings for Sale, BC Coast
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.

"Gone Surfing"

a solitary bicycle in the bike rack at the

wild west coast. It's easy to imagine

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.

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.

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..
