Future Painting Ideas:

1. Vancouver Landmarks / Cityscapes: Vancouver is full of potential subjects. Such as:

  • Done - Vancouver Sunset at the magic hour when it turns all beetle-green.
  • Queen Elizabeth Park panorama view of Vancouver - big canvas
  • View from Science World towards mountain showing: Lions, Harbour Center, Woodward's W, Condos.
  • Cambie Street Bridge view of downtown with new "Crown" BC place stadium and Harbour Center like a sceptre.

2. Vancouver Neighborhoods: Ongoing series. The idea here is to portray each neighborhood in a way that it characterizes the denizens of that particular neighborhood. Potential subjects include:

  • Done - Commercial Drive and First Avenue
  • Davie Street (with rainbow colors)
  • Fairview or South Granville Rise
  • Douglas Park's cathedral-like autumn trees.
  • Granville Island Houseboats
  • Marine Drive/Point Grey
  • Shaughnessey
  • UBC
  • Kitsilano
  • West End
  • Done - Yaletown
  • East Vancouver/Kingsway Area, possibly some Vancouver specials
  • Chinatown
  • Gastown
  • Strathcona
  • DTES
  • Main Street
  • 312 Main Police Station
  • ... Requests? Email me!

3. Abstracts: I've done several based on T.S. Eliot's work. I might like to try another poet, or just go free-form.

4. Jazz Series: Charlie Parker needs some company. I need to do Louis and Ella and Duke and Billie, part of a Jazz series. Eventually I'll try to get a whole band together.

5. Famous Landmarks - Alternate City: I'd like to try some other landmarks from other cities: San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, Boston, New York. Maybe even Toronto?

6. Another Wine Country or Two: Okanagan is such a photo-or-painting-genic location. I have about five or so more photos lined up that I think would make good paintings, plus they incorporate my love of blue and green and water and skies: Okanagan Valley, Naramata Road, Naramata Road at Sunset, Vineyard, & Big Sky Okanagan

7. Flowers: I took this photo ca. October, 2002 and have always wanted to do something with it. Flowers are easy - they can be abstracted with little thought, and they're just pretty. And here are some sunflowers: I could go very Van Gogh with these.
