Description
Acrylic on Canvas, 20" x 20"Some might consider Alexander and Main to be the bad part of town. It is near the docks in the heart of Vancouver's famous but frightening Downtown East Side . The thing that people don't always notice - especially late at night - is there is a real sense of community here. People know each other. You can hear them holler greetings from open windows.
Yes, the sky is a Van Gogh ripoff. I wanted to make the tones of the buildings warm and organic with vinelike city fixtures. The sky and street are colder and more unstable.

Thank you Jasmin - I think there is a lot of beauty there, just not immediately apparent.

I think the sky is pure you! Fantastic painting, and having spent many nights in Vancouver (use to be a favorite jaunt from Seattle to check out music) it also produces a sentimental/nostalgia for me. Great work..Love your style ALWAYS

That would be great to see! Pike Street Market would probably result in a ton of paintings just on it's own...would love to see what you would do with that!

Use to go up to Vancouver for music reasons... I remember driving up to Whistler in a blizzard.. We got there about midnight and the Villiage with all that glass and lit up with the snow coming down was just magical! Never will forget that.

Thank you! They are green in real life, but perhaps not so bendy.
