CAPE ROGER CURTIS

I first saw the beach at Cape Roger Curtis in May of 1998.  I remember the year and month well as it was the year after my VisionQuest canoe journey down the west coast of Canada.  In 1998 I’d organized a similar, but much smaller, canoe journey.  This time it was from Powell River to the Musqueam Reserve at the mouth of the Fraser River.  On day five of that journey we left Gibsons early on a sunny but cool day. There promised to be wind and waves and we had perhaps six hours of hard paddling ahead of us.  Our course took us from Gibsons harbour through the gap and into Georgia Strait.  We’d weave through the Paisley Islands and make for the tip of Bowen Island. An hour and a half after leaving Gibsons we pulled our canoes up onto the beach at Cape Roger Curtis. Hidden just around the corner from the Roger Curtis light, the picturesque beach provided safe haven from any wind or wave action.  We rested there in the warm sun and still air for perhaps an hour as we turned our focus on the long leg of the paddle ahead of us.  There would be no rest stops available between here and the mouth of the Fraser.

I’ve returned to Cape Roger Curtis a few times over the years, always with fond anticipation of its sheltered and warm beach.  One time while languishing in its embrace, I was moved to create a painting of this very special place.  Luckily I had a camera with me and was able to return home that winter and create what is a very special painting to me.  It reminds me of good times and good friends.  It speaks of reliable shelter and the reassurance of a familiar place.  Whenever I look at the image I have painted I can hear the laughter and sense the relaxation that I’ve shared in the very special place that is CAPE ROGER CURTIS.

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.
