Some of my paintings aren’t created for any other reason than just for my sheer joy of painting them. “BEAR MOUNTAIN” is one of those paintings. I don’t often paint golf courses. Wild British Columbia nature is more my focus and center of artistic interest and inspiration. In September of 2017 that all changed for a brief period of time.
I had the opportunity to go to Victoria to watch the Senior PGA golf tournament taking place at Bear Mountain golf course. I’d jumped at the opportunity of seeing all those players I’d grown up with now playing as seniors.
As I walked the course that day I knew a painting was calling to me to me help remember this day, but I don’t paint golf courses so how could that be? I could “hear the call” of an image beckoning but nothing was coming to me on this beautiful track. Then, as I followed the leading group back towards the 18th hole, the image came into focus. At the time, I didn’t even know what hole it was; it didn’t matter. There’s not even a golf green in the image I’ve painted. It was just the majesty of the landscape that caught my artist’s eye. I took numerous photographs and when the fall rains started in November, I painted the image I’d found back in September. I’ve since determined that this is in fact the 13th hole.
There’s no golf green in the image, no golfers, no golf balls, and no gallery. It’s just an impressive setting that’ll always remind me of that wondrous day I spent with my golfing heroes of the past as they played the impressive golf course that is Bear Mountain.
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.
