Here on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, us locals know to head to the beaches of Bonniebrook, Davis Bay or the seawall of Sechelt for spectacular sunsets. Indeed, there are many such vantage points that’ll allow you to say goodbye to the day witnessing such vibrant and dramatic flourishes of colour.
But, if those locations are known for their striking sunsets, surely the little community of Hopkins Landing can claim to be the “Sunrise Capital of the Sunshine Coast”. I know of no other place that can provide the stage for a sunrise on a perfect, clear morning, like Hopkins Landing.
It was 5:00AM on a June day in 2009. Coffee in hand, I was walking the dock in Hopkins to see for myself what all the fuss was about. “The sunrises from Hopkins are the best on the Sunshine Coast.” That was the word out there and I had to see for myself. Apparently, the blue heron waiting patiently on the piling was there for the same reason.
Even before the sun showed its face, I’d found my painting. It speaks of the promise of a wonderful, warm and comforting spring day. Together, that heron and I, we watched the sun rise and felt it warm our spirits. And as the heron flew off to its day, and I walked back up the dock, I think we both agreed, here on the Sunshine Coast, there’s nothing quite like a “Hopkins Morning”.
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.
