Hey - it's finally raining in Vancouver again - all is well with the world. I thought for one moment this Global Warming thing might have some truth to it - Ha Ha!!
I don't often paint grey rainy skies - even though we are known to have them once in a while here! Somehow, even when it rains here, I see bright colours and clarity - odd, I know.
This past week has gone by quickly, but not much got achieved in the way of actual painting - though loads of framing did get done. I am trying to finalise the last two "Olympic appropriate" images for the new calendar - since I don't spent a huge amount of time in Whistler or up on Cypress Mountain, though those are my chosen subjects. It's hard to do snowbound paintings when the sun is blazing - maybe now it's raining I stand a better chance.
Paintings I'll be working on this week include the Yaletown Street Scene (outside Mini Yaletown) Queen Elizabeth Park (yes, still!) and the new Huge piece of Coal Harbour, looking over to the North Shore Mountains. This is the piece I'm really enthused about - and think it'll be the companion piece to A Fall Day over False Creek - same kind of "over the couch" Shape - not to sound too crass! I'll keep you posted.
Come by and say hello if you're down on Granville Island this week (Fresh local Strawberries are at the Market now and the GI Farmers markets have begun on Thursdays)
What I'm listening to this week
Calexico - Even my sure things Fall Through
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Tosca - Suzuki
Manic Street Preachers - Greatest Hits
Tom Waits - Asylum Years

Today, some of the banners featuring my image "Granville Island at 30" went up on the Island. There are also transit posters up and other posters to go up all over the city in the next few weeks. Needless to say, I'm feeling pretty chuffed. Here's the image! |

Welcome, guests, to Beaver Pond 2.0. This is techie talk of course and what do you expect? I'm the web guy. Luckily you won't have to put up with me past this brief introductory message - Hilary will be taking over the posting of news and events, announcements of upcoming works and new products, all right here in this space. A quick intro to the new layout of the site, and some pointers to the new features: - Images are now laid out in the gallery page, for you to preview and see some of your favourites - the availability of items with said painting lies in the caption below. This is not the complete listing but will give you a good taste of Hilary's work and breadth of what she covers.
- For a complete listing, please draw your attention to the Map page, wherein you'll find a comprehensive listing of her works with the ability to preview and again, see in which products the work in question is available.
- Other standard webpage goodies are here: an About Hilary page, a FAQ (to which you may decide to contribute), a map to find us with Google-like precision, a contact form to provide some feedback (or did we mention frequently asked questions?), and...
- Assorted other bells and whistles - you'll see on every page the link to add us to your social networking agent of choice (digg us, facebook us, share us, what have you), and as well on the bottom right of the main page (yes this one) you'll see a little RSS doohickey which allows those of you in the know to subscribe to the site and get updates as they happen in your reader of choice.
- Finally, we'd be tickled if you used our E-card feature to send friends and loved ones virtual greeting cards. The cards are there, but you'll have to do the greeting yourself.
Hope you enjoy the website and thanks again for visiting Beaver Pond, the home of Hilary Morris' Creative Productions. Cheers! |
