PROMISE KEPT

 

PROMISE KEPT

While the winter of 2006/2007 will go down in history as one of unusual and remarkable weather, it will also perhaps mark an overall change in what we know as regular weather patterns here on the West Coast.  I chose the lighthouse at Merry Island, just north of Sechelt, to depict some of that weather that we’ve experienced in this winter of winters.

As I compose this story in the second week of January 2007, we are awaiting our 14thstorm of the season.  Hurricane force winds, driving and flooding rains, snow in all its forms and temperatures fluctuating to the extreme have created a time of tension and concern for almost everyone throughout this entire season.  Spring can’t come too soon.  In spite of all of that though, there can still be a beauty in the ravages of a West Coast winter.  Days are short, and for the most part dull as the sun’s bright rays are hidden by depths of snow or rain laden clouds.  The air is heavy in its dampness and faces reflect the pressures of the winter.  But when it snows, our coastal land wears its white coat proudly.  And there is no place quite like the seclusion of a lighthouse to illustrate that unique, still and quiet beauty. It’s only fleeting.  It’ll last only for days or perhaps hours. But in that tranquility one finds promise and energy.

We’d been promised a difficult winter, but nobody knew just how tough it would be. This glimpse of calm and peace in the middle of it all is not unlike the rainbow associated to a raging thunderstorm.  There are better times coming and these stepping stones of beauty along the way only help to make the difficult journey to spring a little easier.  Mother Nature has been true to her word.  She has hit us with this winter of warning and foreboding.  We are at the threshold of a time of change in the world.  I have reflected this winter of winters on the West Coast by acknowledging Mother Nature’s forecast in the title of my work.  I recognize that in this winter of 2006/2007 it has been Mother Nature’s “PROMISE KEPT”.

Pricing

My images predominantly sell as limited edition prints (either serigraph or giclée). As such, there is a wide range of pricing, too wide to list within this website. I’ll explain.

My original paintings, those that are still available for sale, range in price from $4,000.00 and up. In most cases though I have limited edition prints available of my images. Needless to say, they are far less expensive than the original paintings. If you are interested in a particular original painting, please contact me at your earliest convenience at info@edhillart.com

If it’s a limited edition print you’re interested in, let me explain. Because of modern day technologies, the image you are interested in can be giclée printed on either paper or canvas. The canvas images can be rolled up and shipped in a simple tube, or they can be stretched on a frame and shipped that way. So too, these images can be reproduced custom made to your wishes. In other words I can create a print in the size you desire, either to fill a small space, or to fill an entire wall. I’ve included below a photograph of a client’s dining room with two of my prints reproduced in a larger format.

You will see that some of my pieces shown on this web site, those lithograph reproductions and art cards, do have fixed prices. The rest of my images, however, can be priced only when I know specifically what you, the client, want. As such, if you are interested in a particular image, please contact me, Ed Hill, directly at info@edhillart.com

Once your order has been determined, you’ll be able to make payment through PayPal provided herein.
