Lonsdale Quay
10"x10"

The Seabus Terminal. I just love the big Q. It's like the NyQuil Q but much more energizing.

[S] Tomahawk Restaurant
10"x8"

This is like many of the restaurants we used to stop at on road trips in the 1970s. It is like stepping back in time when you go there. I hope they never change it.

Parkgate Library
10"x10"

At dusk with the lights on. It's open 'til 9 pm.

Lion's Gate West
10"x8"

Another view of Lion's Gate, looking west. This is the path the cruise ships take out to Alaska.

The Lions in Summer
10" x 24"

This is a tall vertical view of the Lions over Capilano Lake in the summertime.

The Lions in Winter
10" x 24"

Same scene in winter.

[S] The Lions II
10"x10"

I always wondered how the Lions got their name. Honestly, they don't look much like lions. They look more ... female, somehow (apparently they are also known as "The Twin Sisters").

[S] Edgemont Village
10"x8"

Cute, eclectic Edgemont Village is a city of sidewalks, indeed.

[S] Deep Cove II
10"x8"

One of North Vancouver's most idyllic spots.

[S] Deep Cove Marina II
10"x10"

If you live in Deep Cove, it is almost a requirement to own a boat.

[S] Canoe and Kayak Center
10"x10"

This is where to rent canoes and kayaks in Deep Cove. They call it a "paddler's paradise".

[S] NSCU Parkgate
10"x8"

North Shore Credit Union's Parkgate Branch in winter.

[S] Next Five Exits
10"x8"

Ironworker's Memorial Bridge, AKA Second Narrows. All roads lead to North Van.

[S] Lion's Gate Bridge
10"x10"

The gateway to the North Shore and a daily commute - and sometimes frustration - for many.

[S] Lion's Gate East

The view of Lion's Gate from Ambleside with Vancouver in the background.

[S] Brockton Point II
9 "x12"

The iconic Brockton Point lighthouse on the edge of Stanley Park. It's like a little exclamation mark on the seawall.

[NFS] Inukshuk
8"x10"

As an Inuit symbol, these stone constructs have been used for navigation, memorialization of loved ones, and markers for good hunting or fishing grounds. This iconic English Bay statue will forever be associated with Vancouver's 2010 Olympics as it was portrayed on the crayon-bright logo.

The VANOC marketing copy said, "Over time, the inukshuk has become a symbol of hope and friendship, an eternal expression of the hospitality of a nation that warmly welcomes the people of the world with open arms every day."

On a summer's day, this particular West End landmark watches over volleyball players and leisurely strollers and carefree suntanners.

[S] Capilano Suspension Bridge
10"x8"

The Capilano Suspension Bridge is like walking through the forest on stilts.

[S] Burrard Sunset
10"x10"

There are days when Vancouver is not all green and blue or gray: some days, like late summer, it can be perfectly golden.

[S] Granville Island
12"x12"

This is a smaller version of my larger Granville Island II painting. It's all about the contrast of downtown regularity against the neon-bright GI community separated by the lovely art deco Burrard Street bridge.

[S] Coal Harbour Panorama
12"x9"

The view of Coal Harbour and North Vancouver from the top of the Pan Pacific has so many Vancouver icons in one place: the Lions, the sulfur piles, the floating gas stations, Lion's Gate bridge, and Stanley Park.
