“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.”
Albert Einstein
For those of us on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, those of us who paddle big canoes on the ocean, these famous words of Albert Einstein have meaning. Throughout the year we get together to paddle on our ocean waters and to just enjoy being together. The energy that happens within those canoes each week really is something that moves from the canoe into our very souls. We who paddle are all better off because of what we do physically, socially and emotionally.
The energy of the canoe is never destroyed. It never goes away. It moves from the canoe to us. It’ll live within each of us forever, even when we’ve paddled our last journey.
A photograph I took of a canoe in the fog inspired this painting. I chose to interpret the image of that photograph to evoke a sense of a dreamlike or imaginary place. It’s a place all of us who paddle can relate to. We’ve been there on that perfect day, in perfect conditions and with the perfect crew.
The mere fact that we can all recall such times is an illustration of the words of Einstein. That energy from within the canoe was in fact changed from one form to another. Never to be destroyed, it now lives inside of us. The energy of that memory speaks to the fact that we who paddle will enjoy the benefits of paddling – “FOREVER”.
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.
